Easy Fresh Strawberry Mousse
This Easy Fresh Strawberry Mousse is made with only 3 ingredients, no gelatin and no bake. The perfect creamy fluffy Mousse dessert. A delicious dessert to serve at any occasion.
Say hello to spring with this simple yet out of this world dessert recipe.
So here I am again with a Fresh Strawberry dessert, and I have to admit this one is amazing. I was and always will be a lover of Mousse. Although I really just started making it more and more in the last year or so.
And I really don’t know what took me so long! I guess I have the Italian to thank, it was his idea to try making it after eating it in a restaurant. I liked the idea so I gave it a shot.
Back in March I made a Double Chocolate Mousse Cake for my youngest daughter’s birthday. And trust me it was good!
So now when I have friends over for dinner and I know I need to make a dessert. But let’s face it sometimes you really need something quick and easy and no bake.
And this Strawberry Mousse is just that! And only 3 ingredients!
How to make Strawberry Mousse
- In a blender or food processor puree the strawberries with the sugar.
- Remove about half a cup of puree and set aside.
- Whip the cream until very thick.
- Fold the remaining puree into the whipped cream until combined.
- Place a couple of tablespoons of strawberry puree on the bottom of each glass (4 medium glasses).
- Top with the Strawberry Mousse and then refrigerate for approximately one hour or even longer if desired.
- Serve with fresh sliced strawberries. So good!
Since this is Strawberry season in Italy, it is the fruit of the moment in our house. My daughter’s favourite, so we never have a shortage!
Although we did have a shortage of these Strawberry Mousse cups after the Italian got his hands on them. Definitely one of his no sharing desserts! Enjoy!

This was so easy yet so elegant
Definitely way to sweet though
Made it as written first time I made them
Cut the sugar in half second time
Added a dusting of grated chocolate too
Will probably cut sugar down just a bit more next time. Will be trying it out with raspberries next time
Peaches would probably be yummy too.
Hi Sandra, thanks glad you enjoyed it. The sweetness also depends on the sweetness of the strawberries. Take care and have a great week!
Can I make this in a trifle bowl?
Hi Irene, I have never made it as a trifle, you could try it and see. Let me know. Take care!
Hi,
Is there a way to calculate nutritional value substituting monk fruit sweetener for sugar?
Hi Danielle, unfortunately not, the calculation is built into my recipe card. Sorry. You could probably get one on line. Take care!
Delicious, so easy. Have done this for a birthday luncheon. It will be interesting to hear comments.
Hi Lesley, thanks so much, I hope everyone enjoys it. Take care!
Would this work with Greek yogurt instead of cream?
Hi Clare I really don’t think you have to whip the cream and the taste would also change. 🙂
Have you tried it with raspberries? I am thinking of layering it with a chocolate mousse I make, and I feel like raspberries might be nicer as a contrast to the chocolate. Thanks!
Hi Izzy, you could definitely try it with raspberries and yes chocolate and raspberries are a great combination. Let me know how it goes. Take care!
Loved this recipe! Tasted amazing and I would definitely recommend it.
Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it. Take care.
The Recipe was very easy and delicious!
Does it freeze successfully please?
Hi Sue, yes apparently you can but it will probably change the texture, it won’t be as light and fluffy. Take care.
Hard to figure out weight of berries when you buy them in bulk. How much berries cup-wise? ratio of berries to cream would be helpful. Thank you
Hi Laura, it should be around 2 cups of sliced strawberries. Hope that helps.
Wonderful! The mousse was iight and fluffy, Wish the puree had been a little thicker – maybe more strawberries? Anyway, it looked beautiful and is absolutely delicious. Thanks.
Hi Lynda, thanks so much, try using more strawberries that could help. Take care.
Hi Sarah, is it ok to use strawberries that I froze when they were in season?
Hi Madison, yes that would work be sure to thaw and towel dry them to remove as much extra moisture as possible. Take are.
How far in advance Can this be made?
Hi Priscilla, I would say a day in advance, cover the glass well with plastic wrap and refrigerate, it should be fine. Let me know how it goes.
I think this is exactly what I’m looking for….will this hold up in a white chocolate semi sphere? I’m looking for a strawberry mousse to present in the molded chocolate as the vessel with a dark chocolate drizzle, and this sounds delish! If not, I’ll use glass but my fingers are crossed!
Hi Terri, I really don’t think it will be as firm as you are hoping it would be because there is no gelatine in it. Although the chocolate is firm enough it might work. Let me know. Take care.
This makes a very pretty presentation dessert and it’s delicious!
Hi Terri, thanks so much, so glad you liked it. Take care.
