This strawberry mousse is a light, airy and fruity dessert. We love it during spring and summer when strawberries are plentiful here in Florida.

Wash strawberries well in water and vinegar mix, then rinse in running water. Let the strawberries air dry in a colander or pat them dry. Reserve 2-3 strawberries and dice them, set aside.
Pour the packet of strawberry jell-o on the glass bowl. Add 2 cups of boiling water and mix to dissolve the powder. Once everything is dissolved add 1 cup of really cold water and mix again.
Add the strawberries to a large blender. Pour the table cream inside. Pulse for few seconds then blend. Add the jell-o mix and blend again.
Get the serving cups. Add the diced strawberries you reserved earlier and place some of them at the bottom of each serving cup.
Pour the blended mix over each cup. Chill the mousse for about 4 hours (or overnight especially if you use a large mold instead of individual cups).
Top upon serving as desired with whipped cream, more strawberries etc. Enjoy:)).

Thanks to my husband's stepmom for this recipe! She makes delicious mousse desserts of all flavors and strawberry one was always a hit. She shared the recipe with me during this last trip when they visited us from Brazil.
Chilling time can vary. Mousse sets a lot faster on individual cups than the big mold.
Wash the strawberries with water and vinegar (prepare a solution with water and vinegar and soak the strawberries for 5-10 minutes). Then rinse in running water and let air dry in a colander or pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Toppings - whipped cream and more strawberries are optional and to taste, so add those as needed. Didn't include them in ingredients as they are more garnishes.
