🛒 Ingredients

1 servings

1
  • 200 ml (¾ cup) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 395 g)
  • 1 packet strawberry-flavored drink mix powder
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 400 ml (1¾ cups) heavy cream, for whipping
  • Dark chocolate shavings or fresh chopped strawberries, to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Pour the heavy cream, condensed milk, and strawberry powder into a stand mixer bowl. Beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes until smooth and fully combined.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the 3 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for 2–3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10 seconds until fully dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly before using.

  4. 4

    Add the dissolved gelatin to the mixer bowl and beat again for 1 minute to incorporate evenly.

  5. 5

    In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.

  6. 6

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture using a silicone spatula, with slow circular motions to keep it airy.

  7. 7

    Fold in the chocolate shavings or chopped fresh strawberries until evenly distributed.

  8. 8

    Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 8 hours, until the mousse is firm and set.

💡 Chef's Tip

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes before whipping the cream — it makes a big difference. This mousse also works beautifully as a tart filling or layered in a trifle glass with sponge cake and berries.
