Print Recipe

Strawberry Mousse Without Gelatin Or Whipped Cream delivers light, airy strawberry bliss using simple cornstarch reduction. Fresh berry purée folded into thick Greek yogurt creates dreamy texture. Perfect no-bake dessert for spring brunches and Pinterest fruit mousse boards.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Strawberry Reduction:
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled, ~12 oz)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1½ tsp cornstarch + 2 tsp water (slurry)
  • Yogurt Base:
  • 2 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt (cold)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • Garnish:
  • Fresh strawberries (sliced)
  • Mint leaves
  • Crushed graham crackers (optional)

Instructions

  • 1. Make strawberry reduction: blend strawberries, sugar, lemon juice until smooth.
  • 2. Transfer to small saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium heat.
  • 3. Cook 8-10 mins until reduced by half and jammy (stir frequently).
  • 4. Stir cornstarch slurry. Simmer 1 min until thickened. Cool completely (fridge speeds up).
  • 5. Make yogurt base: whisk cold Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt until smooth and slightly fluffy (2 mins).
  • 6. Gently fold cooled strawberry reduction into yogurt until pink swirls form (don’t overmix).
  • 7. Spoon into 6 glasses or ramekins. Chill 2-4 hours until softly set.
  • 8. Garnish fresh strawberries, mint, graham crumbs before serving.

Notes

  • Full-fat Greek yogurt = rich, mousse-like texture. Skyr works perfectly.
  • Cook strawberry purée – raw = watery, won’t set properly.
  • Cornstarch slurry = perfect thickening without gelatin.
  • Chill time essential for mousse consistency.
  • Room temp reduction before folding prevents yogurt separation.
  • Make ahead: assemble up to 24 hours. Garnish fresh.
  • Dairy-free: coconut yogurt + coconut cream works beautifully.
  • Double berries for intense flavor or swirl layers in glasses.
  • Pipe into chocolate cups for fancy presentation.
  • Light refreshing dessert. Spring/summer Pinterest star.
