Let’s just say the thought of raw eggs in my mousse does not appeal to me. Therefore this Eggless Strawberry Mousse is my go to recipe. It’s easy to make and totally irresistable. It’s light and creamy and not to mention melt-in-your mouth goodness.
My hubby who has a sweet tooth could eat this all the time. Only he can’t make it himself so he has to wait until I make it again…haha! I don’t think lock down has been good for him because he has been eating stuff he usually doesn’t eat.
He is very disciplined in terms of his diet when he works from his office. I suppose watching me cook and bake for my blog doesn’t help, right! He is my official food critic. Trust me he is great at giving very honest critics of my food. Sometimes I not very happy hearing them…Lol!
Ingredients Required
You only need 4 ingredients for this Eggless Strawberry Mousse. Strawberries are back in season here in South Africa so you can make all the strawberry mousse you want.
Strawberries, sugar, chocolate and fresh cream whipped together makes this a heavenly treat. The kids will love it too.
How to make the mousse
You hull and chop the strawberries. Place them in a saucepan with the sugar. Once they are mushy you remove it from the heat and blend them. You then whip the fresh cream, fold the melted chocolate and strawberry puree into the cream.
Divide the mixture into little jars or ramekins and refrigerate for 2 hours. You will have a velvety, irresistable dessert.

Hi Lorraine, thanks for a lovely recipe – I made it this evening and everyone enjoyed it. Modified the recipe by swapping the fresh cream for coconut cream (coconut milk chilled overnight in the fridge and the solid part scooped out and whipped up) and it worked!
Hi Bianca! That sounds yum, next time I will try it with the coconut cream. Glad you enjoyed it:-)
