Creme Strawberry Mousse Desserts

The humble strawberry was first bred from wild strawberry varieties in Brittany, France in the 1750s.

And as some folk have allergies to strawberries, a variety that states 'virtually allergen free' has evolved removing the red colour.

How about that! 

Creamy yellow-white-coloured strawberries!

This new cultivar is called 'Sofar'.

But let's use the deliciously fragrant and tasty red variety to make this 'Creme Strawberry Mousse Dessert'.

The dessert is not overly sweet.

The strawberry flavour sings loudly!

The tartness of the creme fraiche melds with the cream and berry puree to balance the taste buds brilliantly.

It is a fabulous, no-fuss fresh strawberry dessert that is so good you could eat it for breakfast, too!

I'm guilty of that!   :)

Recipe link is HERE.

You will need fresh strawberries.

I use seconds, as we are chopping them up and also pureeing them.

                    

You then mix the whipped cream and creme fraiche together.

Place half the strawberry puree through the creme mixture.

Then mix to blend together.

Place the creme  

mixture evenly between four large glasses.

Then pour the rest of the puree over the tops.

Top with more chopped fresh strawberries.

Place  a garnish of a viola flower on top 

or sprinkle top of desserts with a little more powdered icing sugar.

Creme Strawberry Mousse Desserts

Ingredients:

 3 and a 1/2 cups of hulled chopped fresh 

strawberries

1/2 cup (and extra to serve) powdered icing sugar

1 cup pure cream

1 extra teaspoon of powdered icing sugar

1 cup Creme Fraiche

To Make: 

Hull and dice the strawberries.

Place 2 cups of the diced strawberries into a blender with the icing sugar.

Blitz to a smooth puree until smooth.

Whip the cream with the extra 1 teaspoon of powdered icing sugar until thick(but not to the soft peak stage) and then add the creme fraiche whipping together until thick.

Mix into this mixture, a half a cup of the strawberry puree.

In four tall glasses (I used large plastic wine glasses). 

 Layer evenly between the glasses:

1/. A few diced strawberries in the bottom.

2/. Then the strawberry cream mixture.

3/. The rest of the strawberry puree.

4/. Top with more diced strawberries.

5/. Garnish with a viola flower, or just sprinkle a little more powdered icing sugar over the top.

Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

Yield: Four servings

Note: Desserts can be made a day before serving.

Cover each dessert glass with plastic film, and store them in the refrigerator.
