How to Make Strawberry Mousse Parfait
- Dice 1 cup of fresh strawberries and gently mix with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
- Roughly chop the remaining 1/3 cup of strawberries and set aside for garnish.
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin evenly over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let stand for 1 minute to soften.
- Warm the gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
- Gently stir the dissolved gelatin into the mashed strawberries.
- Place the strawberry gelatin mixture in a larger bowl filled with ice water. Stir frequently until the mixture begins to thicken and holds its shape briefly (about 5-7 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream with an electric mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold about 1/2 cup of the whipped cream into the strawberry gelatin mixture.
- Layer the ingredients in a decorative glass or parfait dish: start with a layer of whipped cream, followed by a layer of the strawberry mousse, then a layer of crushed butter cookies (approximately 1/4 cup per layer), and repeat the layers until the glass is full.
- Garnish with the reserved chopped strawberries and serve immediately or chill for later.
