4 Servings

Steps

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.
