Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Fluffy Strawberry Mousse

Wash and slice 2 cups of fresh strawberries. Blend with 1/4 cup of sugar until smooth, setting 1/2 cup of puree aside for later.
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 2-4 minutes.
Gently fold the reserved strawberry puree into the whipped cream until well combined, being careful not to over-mix.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of reserved strawberry puree into serving glasses, then fill each glass with the mousse mixture.
Cover the glasses and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Garnish each serving with fresh sliced strawberries before serving.
