Strawberry Mousse Recipe
Strawberry Mousse cups layer fresh berries, a smooth cream cheese filling, and graham crumbs, an easy make ahead treat everyone loves.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) carton fresh strawberries, about 20 strawberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 (16-ounce) container Cool Whip
Instructions
- Add 12 strawberries and vanilla to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add cream cheese, Greek yogurt and powdered sugar and mix until combined well. Pour into a bowl and fold in half of the whipped cream until combined.
- Press 2 tablespoons of crushed graham crackers into the bottom of 8 jars. Thinly slice 8 strawberries and arrange 4 slices around the outer edge of the jar and above the crumbs.
- Spoon or pipe strawberry mousse into jars making sure to slightly bang down to get rid of air bubbles. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours (or overnight).
- Before serving, dollop whipped cream onto the tops of each jar and add a piece of strawberry, if desired.
Notes
For the prettiest jars, press crumbs firmly so they hold a neat layer and do not float into the mousse.
Chill at least 3 to 4 hours, overnight is even better for clean layers and set texture.
Pipe the mousse to avoid smearing the strawberry slices on the jar sides.
Make ahead up to 24 hours; add the whipped topping and fresh strawberry garnish just before serving.
