How to Make Strawberry Mousse Parfaits
- Hull and roughly chop 1 pound of fresh strawberries. Place them in a food processor.
- Cover and process until you have a smooth puree.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the strawberry puree (from step 2) and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until completely smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
- Transfer the thickened strawberry mixture to a large heatproof bowl.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate until completely chilled (at least 2 hours).
- Once chilled, set aside 1/2 cup of the strawberry mixture for layering.
- To the remaining chilled strawberry mixture, add 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup of orange juice, and 2-3 drops of red food coloring (adjust to your desired intensity).
- Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the color is even.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture.
- Divide the mousse mixture evenly among 12 parfait glasses or shot glasses. Spoon in approximately 1/4 cup of the mousse into each glass.
- Layer each parfait with 4 teaspoons of the reserved chilled strawberry mixture, followed by another 1/4 cup of the mousse mixture.
- Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
- Before serving, garnish each parfait with fresh strawberries and a sprig of mint, if desired.
