ingredients
Steps
Prepare biscuit base
Crush the digestive biscuits into small pieces, then mix them with the melted butter. Divide the mixture among the bottoms of 4 glasses and press down gently. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the mousse.
Make strawberry puree
Wash and hull the strawberries. Set aside a few for garnish, then puree the rest with an immersion blender or fork. Stir in the lemon juice and a little powdered sugar to taste if the strawberries are not sweet enough.
Whip the cream
In a cold bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can curdle.
Assemble the mousse
Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream until you get a uniform, pink cream. Do not overmix to maintain its light texture.
Layer and chill
Divide the strawberry mousse over the biscuit base in the glasses. Garnish with the reserved fresh strawberry pieces. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to chill thoroughly and allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold.
Extra Tips
► You can omit the biscuit base for a lighter dessert, or replace it with granola.
► For garnish, use fresh mint leaves or a little grated lemon zest for extra freshness.
► If you want a more intense strawberry flavor, cook a portion of the strawberry puree with a little sugar and let it cool before adding it to the cream.
