Sometimes we all need to make a dessert without spending the entire day in the kitchen, right? I like these easy peasy recipes, especially when entertaining and pushed for time, they make a great finale for any dinner. Take the stress out, make it a day ahead!
The mousse is made of fresh strawberries to keep the dessert fresh and fruity. The other ingredients are heavy cream, powdered sugar and lemon juice! Add a drop of strawberry essence ( strawberry extract) for a more vivid taste! —Hadia Zebib Khanafer

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 600 grams . fresh fully ripe strawberries, hulled, washed and drained
  • 11/4 cup heavy cream

Directions
  1. Leave the heavy cream at least 4 hours in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
