Step-by-Step Instructions for mothers day Strawberry Mousse
  1. Wash 2 cups of fresh strawberries under cold running water. Remove the green stems and slice the strawberries in half or quarters.
  2. Blend the strawberries with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar on high speed for about 30 seconds until smooth yet slightly chunky.
  3. Pour 1 cup of cold heavy cream into a mixing bowl and whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Fold the strawberry purée into the whipped cream gently, retaining fluffiness.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and fold it in gently until evenly distributed.
  6. Spoon the mousse mixture into serving dishes, filling them three-quarters full and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  7. Garnish each serving with a fresh mint leaf and some shaved chocolate before serving.
