Ingredients

1 cup strawberries (about 5.6 ounces)

⅓ cup milk (about 2.5 ounces)

2 tablespoons sugar

⅓ cup aquafaba (about 2.8 ounces)

1 teaspoon agar-agar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Execution

1

Prepare the Strawberries: Thaw the strawberries if frozen, cut them in half, and place them in a saucepan with the sugar, milk, and agar-agar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens.

2

Whip the Aquafaba: In a separate bowl, whip the aquafaba with the lemon juice until it forms stiff peaks. This might take up to 10 minutes. When you turn the bowl upside down, the aquafaba should stay in place.

3

Combine the Mixtures: Gradually fold the whipped aquafaba into the strawberry mixture in three stages. Do this gently and slowly to maintain the fluffy texture. You can add a drop of lemon essential oil for extra flavor if desired.

4

Chill the Mousse: Pour the mousse into molds or serving glasses. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or place in the freezer for 30 minutes to set.

Additional tips

• Use fresh or high-quality frozen strawberries for the best flavor.
• Make sure the strawberry mixture is not too hot when folding in the aquafaba to avoid deflating it.
• This mousse is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
