Step 1

In a cup, add the gelatin and tablespoon of water and heat in the microwave for 10 - 15 seconds until dissolved. Give it a stir and set aside.

Step 2

Puree the washed strawberries and place in a mixing bowl and add the dissolved gelatin. Give it a good stir. Taste the strawberry mixture and add as much powdered sugar as you wish. I only added 1 1/2 tablespoons as my strawberries were already sweet.

Step 3

Whip up the cream until semi stiff. Do not over whip as it will be too stiff. Then add the cream to the strawberry mix and gently combine so you don't knock out the air.

Step 4

Transfer the mousse in to serving bowls and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 4 hours. Serve as it is or see below for some serving ideas.
