Notes

  1. You can use jelly instead of jam, but we highly recommend jam.
  2. This needs to chill for at least 2-4 hours for the optimal texture.
  3. Easily double this recipe to serve more people.
  4. We use 8 ounce serving containers for this recipe, but you could use 4 ounce and make 8 servings.
  5. The strawberry puree can be placed on the bottom of the container, or on top of the mousse, or you could layer it throughout.
  6. We do not recommend freezing this recipe.
  7. This has a nice blend of strawberry flavor.
  8. You can leave out the strawberry puree from garnishing your mousse, but you will have leftovers since you will need to make it to use in the mousse mixture.
