Strawberry Mousse Recipe

I absolutely love desserts with strawberries, and this one is no exception. This blends a creamy, homemade strawberry mousse with a rich strawberry gelatin puree and a homemade whipping cream layer for a delicious dessert. Not only will it taste great, it’s a dessert that is perfect for a party as it looks pretty, too!
