Introduction

If you’re looking for an easy dessert that feels fancy but takes almost no effort, these 3-Ingredient Strawberry Mousse Cups are the perfect treat. They’re light, creamy, naturally fruity, and made with just a handful of simple ingredients. No gelatin, no baking, and no complicated steps — just fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and a little sugar. These mousse cups are perfect for spring and summer, date nights, or anytime you want a quick dessert that looks beautiful in a glass.

Ingredients (Servings: 4)

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
    (plus extra for garnish, optional)

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, well chilled

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries:
    Add the chopped strawberries and sugar to a blender or food processor. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes so the sugar pulls out the juices.

  2. Blend the purée:
    Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
    Optional: For a smoother mousse, strain the purée through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.

  3. Chill your tools:
    Place a mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge or freezer for 10–15 minutes. This helps the cream whip up faster and fluffier.

  4. Whip the cream:
    Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl and whip until medium-stiff peaks form. The whipped cream should be thick, fluffy, and hold its shape.

  5. Fold the mousse together:
    Pour the strawberry purée into a large bowl. Fold in about 1/3 of the whipped cream to lighten it, then gently fold in the rest until no streaks remain.

  6. Fill the cups:
    Spoon or pipe the mousse into 4 dessert cups or small glasses.

  7. Chill and serve:
    Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until chilled and set. Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.
