Oooh yes — strawberry cream cheese mousse is light, fluffy, slightly tangy, and tastes like a no-bake cheesecake in cloud form 🍓✨
Here’s a creamy, restaurant-quality version that’s simple but impressive.
🍓 Strawberry Cream Cheese Mousse
🛒 Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- ¾ cup strawberry puree (fresh or thawed frozen)
- Optional: 1–2 tbsp sugar (if strawberries aren’t sweet)
🍓 Make the Strawberry Puree
Blend fresh strawberries until smooth.
For extra smooth mousse, strain out the seeds (optional but recommended).
🥄 Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese
Beat softened cream cheese until completely smooth. - Add sugar + vanilla
Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy. - Whip the cream separately
In another bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. - Add strawberry puree
Mix strawberry puree into the cream cheese mixture until combined. - Fold in whipped cream
Gently fold whipped cream into the strawberry mixture.
Don’t overmix — you want it airy and fluffy. - Chill
Spoon into serving glasses and refrigerate 1–2 hours.
✨ Optional Upgrades
- Add crushed graham crackers on the bottom (cheesecake vibe)
- Fold in diced strawberries
- Top with white chocolate shavings
- Pipe into parfait cups for a fancy look
💡 Make It Extra Stable (For Parties)
Add 1 tsp unflavored gelatin (bloomed in 1 tbsp warm water) into the strawberry mixture before folding in whipped cream. This helps it hold shape longer.
