This Strawberry Mousse is a light, creamy dessert made with cream cheese or coconut cream, yogurt, and fresh strawberries. It’s sweetened with powdered sugar or a sugar-free alternative and can be flavored optionally with vanilla bean paste. Perfectly chilled, it offers a refreshing, fruity treat that’s smooth in texture and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese or coconut cream
  • 4 oz yogurt or additional cream cheese or coconut cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar or sugar-free alternative
  • 5 medium size strawberries
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dairy or Coconut Cream: If using cream cheese, allow it to come to room temperature to ensure smooth blending. If using coconut cream, open the can and check that the contents are thick and creamy, avoiding any cans with hard or flaky texture.
  2. Prepare the Strawberries: Remove stems from the strawberries. Then puree the berries by blending or mashing until smooth.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the room temperature cream cheese or coconut cream, yogurt or additional cream cheese/coconut cream, powdered sugar (or sugar-free alternative), and optional vanilla bean paste to the pureed strawberries.
  4. Blend the Mousse: Use a food processor, blender, or hand mixer to blend all ingredients until completely smooth and well combined.
  5. Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse mixture into serving dishes and refrigerate. The mousse will thicken considerably as it chills, resulting in a light, creamy texture.

Notes

  • Using room temperature cream cheese ensures a smooth mousse without lumps.
  • Coconut cream must be thick and creamy for best results; avoid using canned coconut cream that is hard or flaky.
  • For a lower sugar version, use a sugar-free powdered sugar alternative.
  • The mousse thickens as it chills, so refrigerate for at least an hour for best texture.
  • Vanilla bean paste is optional but adds a nice warm flavor.
