Ingredients
-
8 oz cream cheese or coconut cream
-
4 oz yogurt or additional cream cheese or coconut cream
-
1 cup powdered sugar (or sugar-free alternative)
-
5 medium-sized strawberries (optional, can be omitted for a simpler mousse)
-
1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese (or coconut cream) and yogurt (or additional cream cheese) together until smooth and creamy.
-
Gradually add the powdered sugar (or sugar-free alternative) and continue to beat until fully combined and smooth.
-
If using strawberries, blend them into a puree and fold them into the cream mixture. If you prefer a smooth mousse, you can skip this step and use the mousse as is.
-
Stir in the vanilla bean paste for added flavor.
-
Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until chilled and set.
-
Serve as is or garnish with extra strawberries or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
-
You can make this mousse ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
-
For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese or coconut cream.
-
The strawberry flavor can be adjusted by adding more or fewer strawberries, or by using a strawberry puree.
