Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and hull the strawberries.
- Place the strawberries in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
- Transfer the strawberry puree to a mixing bowl.
- Add the powdered sugar to the puree and stir until fully combined. Set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gently fold the sour cream into the strawberry-gelatin mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- 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.
- Carefully fold the whipped egg white into the strawberry mixture. Use a gentle folding motion to maintain the airy texture.
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or dishes.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set and firm.
- 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.
