Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese or coconut cream
  • 4 oz yogurt (or additional cream cheese or coconut cream)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (or sugar free alternative)
  • 5 medium size strawberries
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Base: If using cream cheese, allow it to come to room temperature for easier blending. If opting for coconut cream, open the can and ensure the contents are thick and creamy; avoid using cans with hard or flaky coconut cream as they won’t blend smoothly.
  2. Prepare Strawberries: Remove stems from the strawberries and either mash them manually or blend them using a food processor or blender until smooth to achieve a pureed consistency.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the cream cheese or coconut cream, yogurt, powdered sugar, and optional vanilla bean paste to the pureed strawberries. Blend or mix using a food processor, blender, or hand mixer until the mixture is completely smooth and fluffy.
  4. Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for several hours. The mousse will thicken considerably as it chills, resulting in a light and airy texture perfect for serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth blending.
  • Choose thick, creamy coconut cream specifically for a dairy-free option.
  • Optional vanilla bean paste enhances the flavor but can be omitted.
  • For a lower sugar version, use sugar-free powdered sugar alternatives.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours to allow the mousse to set properly.
  • This dessert is best served chilled for optimum texture and flavor.
