Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese or full-fat coconut cream (240g)
4 oz plain yogurt or additional cream cheese/coconut cream (120g)
1 cup powdered sugar or sugar-free substitute (120g)
5 medium strawberries
1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste (optional)
Instructions
For dairy version, soften cream cheese at room temperature (1-2 hours). For coconut cream, refrigerate can 6-8 hours, then scoop solid fat.
Remove strawberry stems and blend until smooth. Strain for a silky finish, if desired.
Combine cream cheese/coconut cream, yogurt, sugar, and strawberry puree in a blender. Pulse until smooth. Scrape down sides as needed. Add vanilla bean paste, if using.
Transfer to chilled serving glasses or a bowl. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
Notes
Dairy-free tip: Use coconut cream for thickest texture. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract if omitting the paste.
Flavor boost: Fold in chopped mint, orange zest, or lime juice.
Texture fix: Reserve 1/3 of puree for chunks in the final mousse.
Mousse is best refrigerated overnight for optimal consistency.
