Ingredients:

3 cups strawberries
480g
1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
1 tbsp water
16g
1 tbsp gelatin powder
16g
1 cup sour cream
230g
1 egg white
33g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash and hull the strawberries.
- Place the strawberries in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
2. Sweeten the Strawberry Puree:
- Transfer the strawberry puree to a mixing bowl.
- Add the powdered sugar to the puree and stir until fully combined. Set aside.
3. Dissolve the Gelatin:
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the gelatin powder with water.
- Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom (absorb the water).
- After blooming, microwave the mixture for about 10-15 seconds until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is clear. Be careful not to overheat.
4. Combine Gelatin with Strawberry Mixture:
- Allow the dissolved gelatin to cool slightly, then stir it into the strawberry puree mixture. Make sure to mix thoroughly so that the gelatin is evenly distributed.
5. Fold in the Sour Cream:
- Gently fold the sour cream into the strawberry-gelatin mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
6. Whip the Egg White:
- In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Make sure the bowl and whisk are free from any grease to achieve optimal whipping.
7. Incorporate the Egg White:
- Carefully fold the whipped egg white into the strawberry mixture. Use a gentle folding motion to maintain the airy texture.
8. Chill the Mousse:
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or dishes.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set and firm.
9. Serve:
- Once set, the strawberry mousse can be served as is, or you can garnish with fresh strawberries, mint leaves, or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Tips:

- Choose ripe, red strawberries for the best flavor and color.

- Make sure your gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid lumps in your mousse.

- Whip the egg white to stiff peaks to help achieve a light, airy texture.

- Chill the mousse thoroughly before serving to allow it to set properly.

- Garnish with fresh strawberries or a sprig of mint for a decorative touch.

With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and visually appealing strawberry mousse that will delight anyone who tries it. Follow the tips and steps carefully, and you'll have a dessert that not only tastes great but also looks stunning. Whether for a casual family dinner or a more formal event, this strawberry mousse is sure to be a hit.
