¼ cup sugar
2 cups whipped cream

Tips & Variations

Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavour.
Blend the strawberries and sugar until you achieve a smooth puree. This will ensure a silky texture in your mousse. If you want you can strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to eliminate seeds, giving you a smoother mousse.
Make sure the cream is cold when you start whipping it. I always chill the bowl too as whipping cold cream in a frozen bowl makes whipping faster and better.
Whip the cream until soft peaks form before adding the strawberry puree. Be careful not to over-whip, as this can lead to buttery consistency.
Make sure to only whisk the cream to soft peak as that point is easier to fold in the other ingredients. If the cream is over whisked it can very quickly either split or you will get lumps of cream in the mousse. To check if the cream has reached soft peak is if you swirl it with a spoon, it will gently hold the shape.
You can also reserve a bit of strawberry puree to layer in the bottom of the serving glasses or on top of the mousse. A couple of tablespoons in each glass should do the trick.
Allow the mousse to chill in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight for a firmer set.
