Creamy Strawberry Gelatin Mousse
A silky, airy mousse that turns a handful of pantry staples into a dessert worthy of a family Sunday. Sweetened condensed milk brings the richness, cream adds softness, and gelatin gives it that clean, sliceable set. Twenty minutes of work, then the fridge does the rest.

Directions
- 1
Bring the water to a rolling boil, turn off the heat, then sprinkle in the gelatin while whisking hard until it dissolves completely and no lumps remain.
- 2
Let it cool for about 5 minutes — it should still be warm but comfortable to touch before you add the condensed milk.
- 3
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, whisk well, then blend in the cream until the mixture is smooth and even.
- 4
Pour into a mould rinsed with cold water and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, until the mousse is fully set.
💡 Chef's Tip
Rinse the mould with cold water before pouring in the mixture — it will unmould effortlessly. For a firmer set, stir in 1 g of powdered gelatin bloomed in 2 tablespoons of hot water, and chill overnight.
