Get your spoons ready for this summery, cool and perfectly sweet strawberry and cream dessert.
Let’s celebrate the rest of this season with something refreshingly sweet, deliciously fluffy, and laughably easy to make. Because who wants to be sweating in the kitchen for too long when it’s this hot outside?! Oh, not I. I rather be barefoot and sun-kissed, relaxing by the pool. Ice-cold drink in hand and diving into one of these.
Make sure to check out my recipe below to see how easy it is to turn three simple ingredients into a magical dessert. And yes, you heard me right … I said THREE. All you need for this dessert are strawberries, whipping cream and sugar. A whisk (to whip the cream) and a blender (to puree the strawberries with the sugar). Combine in a cute little jar, and this irresistible treat is ready to be served in five minutes or less. Luscious, fluffy, and fresh. 
That’s what summer should be all about, right?!?

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones for the Cool Strawberry Mousse?
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries, but make sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in the mousse.
What type of sugar is best to use in the Cool Strawberry Mousse?
Granulated sugar works best as it dissolves easily when blended with the strawberries and whipping cream.
How do I know when the whipping cream is whipped to the right consistency?
Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks; it should be fluffy but still hold its shape when dolloped.
