Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Mousse

1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 cup powdered sugar

For the Strawberry Layer

1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For Garnish

Fresh strawberries

Mint leaves

Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberry Layer

Slice Strawberries: Hull and slice the strawberries. Place them in a bowl with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss to coat and let sit for 15-20 minutes to macerate.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Mousse

Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, beat the chilled heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Mix Cream Cheese: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat until well combined and smooth.

Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Assemble the Dessert

Layer Strawberries: Divide the macerated strawberries among serving glasses or bowls, creating an even layer at the bottom.

Add Mousse: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mousse over the strawberry layer, filling each glass or bowl almost to the top.

Garnish: Top each serving with a fresh strawberry, a sprig of mint, and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or cocoa powder if desired.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Chill: Refrigerate the assembled desserts for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to set and flavors to meld.

Serve: Serve chilled, enjoying the delightful combination of creamy cheesecake mousse and fresh strawberries.

Tips for Success

Chill Utensils: For best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before whipping the cream.

Macerate Properly: Allowing the strawberries to macerate enhances their sweetness and releases their natural juices, adding more flavor to the dessert.

Piping Mousse: Using a piping bag to add the mousse can create a more elegant presentation.

This Strawberry Cheesecake Mousse is a show-stopping dessert that’s both delicious and beautiful. The combination of creamy mousse, sweet strawberries, and refreshing mint makes it a perfect treat for any occasion. Enjoy!
