For the Mousse
  • 1 cup Whipping Cream ensures a rich, airy texture; remember to chill for better whipping results
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar sweetens and stabilizes the mousse; consider reducing for a less sweet treat
  • 1 cup Thick Plain Yogurt adds creaminess and tang; optional dairy-free yogurt for vegan
  • 3 sheets Gelatin Sheets key for setting your mousse; 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin as an alternative
  • 1/3 cup Hot Milk activates and dissolves the gelatin; use any type, dairy or non-dairy
For the Strawberry Layer
  • 1/2 cup Strawberry Sauce (or Jam) creates the vibrant pink layer; use other fruit purees for a twist
  • 6 pieces Fresh Strawberries for garnishing just before serving

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Soak the gelatin sheets in a bowl of ice water for 5–10 minutes until floppy and translucent. Squeeze excess water and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whip the cold whipping cream and powdered sugar on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until soft peaks form.
  3. Mix the thick plain yogurt into the whipped cream until smooth. Dissolve softened gelatin in hot milk, cool slightly, and fold it into the yogurt and cream mixture.
  4. Combine 200g of base mousse with 180g of strawberry sauce until smooth for the strawberry layer.
  5. Divide the strawberry mousse mixture among serving cups and chill for at least 1 hour.
  6. Once set, pour remaining base mousse on top, spread evenly, and refrigerate for another hour.
  7. Drizzle additional strawberry sauce over each mousse cup and chill for an additional 30 minutes.
  8. Garnish with fresh strawberries just before serving.
