Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Slice 1 cup strawberries into thin pieces. Gently fold half of the sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup blueberries into the whipped cream, keeping it light and airy.

  3. 3

    Spoon the berry cream mixture into 2 serving cups or glasses, layering with the remaining sliced strawberries and blueberries.

  4. 4

    Warm 2 tablespoons strawberry jam in a small microwave-safe bowl for 15 seconds until runny. Drizzle the jam over the top of each mousse cup.

  5. 5

    Chill for 10 minutes before serving, or serve immediately for a softer texture.
