Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese or coconut cream
- 4 oz yogurt or additional cream cheese/coconut cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar (or sugar-free alternative)
- 5 medium-sized strawberries
- Optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- If using cream cheese, let it come to room temperature. If using coconut cream, open the can and ensure it's thick and creamy.
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Remove the stems from the strawberries and blend or mash them until pureed.
- Make the Mousse:
- Add the remaining ingredients (cream cheese or coconut cream, yogurt, powdered sugar, and optional vanilla bean paste) to the strawberry puree.
- Blend everything together until smooth using a food processor, blender, or hand mixer.
- Chill:
- Transfer the mousse to serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. The mousse will thicken as it chills.
Notes

- You can make this mousse sugar-free by swapping the powdered sugar for a sugar alternative like monk fruit or stevia.
