Notes
If you don't have fresh strawberries, use thawed frozen ones. Make sure to pat them with a towel to remove excess moisture before using.
Keep an eye on the heavy cream as you whip it since it can get over-whipped and curdled in the blink of an eye.
Storage: Leftover strawberry mousse stays fresh in an airtight container stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Freeze the mousse in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Keep in mind that the texture might change and not be as fluffy. Let thaw in the refrigerator for a couple hours before enjoying.
