Calories: 403kcal
Ingredients
- 3 ounces strawberry jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup ice-cold water
- 16 ounces Cool Whip
- 1½ cups strawberry preserves (we used Smucker's strawberry preserves)
- Extra whipped cream, for garnish
- Fresh strawberries, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry jello and the boiling water. Whisk until the jello is completely dissolved.
- Add the ice water and mix until all of the ice is melted, and the mixture has cooled down to room temperature.
- Whisk in the Cool Whip until there are no streaks and everything is well combined. Set aside.
- In 6 (8-ounce) serving glasses, place ¼ cup of strawberry preserves in the bottom. Top the strawberry preserves with the strawberry mousse mixture. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight to ensure the mousse has set fully.
- Just before serving, top the mousse with additional whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberries.
Notes
- This is a great recipe to make ahead of time since it is already individually portioned. Make the mousse up to three days ahead of time and grab a dish for a quick and easy snack.
- You could also make this strawberry mousse in small ½-pint mason jars with lids so you can take your dessert on the go.
- Make sure to give your mousse enough time to set so that you have the perfect, fluffy texture.
