How to Prepare:
The first step in preparing this delicious dessert is to make the topping.
This is done by combining the hulled and cut strawberries with sugar and mint in a small bowl.
After a few minutes, the strawberry juices will begin to come out, providing a sweet and aromatic topping for the mousse.
Next, the strawberries, sugar, and water are placed into a saucepan over medium heat and cooked until the mixture becomes soft.
The softened mixture is then transferred to a large bowl and blended until it becomes a smooth puree.
The mini marshmallow pieces are then stirred into the puree until they are dissolved.
The heavy cream is then whipped in an electric mixer until it reaches soft to stiff peaks.
This creamy texture helps balance the sweetness of the marshmallow and strawberry puree.
After the strawberry mixture has cooled, the heavier cream is folded into the mixture.
The mixture is then divided into individual serving dishes and topped with the strawberries and mint before being chilled in the refrigerator.
