Our family loves strawberry, anything strawberry !

Looking around the internet, at all the different types of recipes – from salads to desserts – confirms that it is not only us, but strawberries might be right on the heels of chocolate in popularity.

This Strawberry Mousse is light and another melt-in-the-mouth delicacy.

~~ PIN This Recipe ~~

What I like about this recipe, is that one can make this even during out of strawberry season. The only fresh strawberries needed, are for decorating, not flavor.

And when it comes to decorating, you can use one or two strawberries from a can if there are no fresh strawberries around. Or even whipped cream and sprinkles.

Celeste, the strawberry mousse can be kept in the refrigerator for 2 - 3 days (not decorated) I normally cover the mousse with clingfilm as well if leaving that long in the refrigerator
