Potted Strawberries and Cream Mousse
Equipment
- 3 inch terracotta pots (ensure food safe finish)
- Blender
- Food Processor
- Mixer, hand or stand
Ingredients
Strawberries and Cream Mousse
- 16 oz strawberries, fresh
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- pinch salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
"Soil" Topping/Presentation
- 1 cup graham crackers, crushed fine
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 5 3 inch terracotta pots
- 5 small pieces of foil, to cover the hole in the bottom of each pot
- 5 edible flower stems or herbs
Instructions
- If using, cover the bottom of each mini pot with a piece of foil.
- Cut the tops off the strawberries, then cut each one into fourths.
- Add cut strawberries, honey, vanilla bean paste and salt to a blender and blend until fully combined.
- In a large bowl, whip your heavy cream using either a stand mixer or hand mixer. Whip until ripples form and cream is a whipped cream consistency. Be sure not to over mix or it will be too dry!
- Pour the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream and gently fold it in with a spatula. Do so slowly and until just fully mixed with no steaks of color remaining.
- Pour equal amounts of the mixture into each pot, then cover them and place in the fridge to set for at least 3 hours or until firm. I prefer to let them set overnight.
- In a food processor, combine the graham crackers and cocoa powder and pulse for form a "soil" topping.
- Right before you serve the mousse, top with the "soil" mixture, then stick a food safe floral stem or herb in the center.
