Fresh STRAWBERRY MOUSSE
1 16-oz. container fresh strawberries
2 TB sweetened, condensed milk (NOT evaporated)..............................1/2 cup sugar
2 cups extra-heavy whipping cream
***
Wash and slice the stems off the strawberries. Put the strawberries, sugar and sweetened condensed milk into your blender (or food processor) and blend until totally pureed (about 2-3 minutes). You may need to do this in 2 batches. Set aside.
Pour cream into a mixing bowl and beat on high until soft (almost) peaks form. Gently fold the strawberry puree into the cream, with a rubber scraper, until everything is well combined.
Divide the strawberry mousse into about 10-12 dessert cups and refrigerate at least 30 minutes (or covered for several days).
See my recipe for easy Chocolate covered Strawberries... these are nice served on a little plate next to the mousse.
