Easy Strawberry Mousse Parfaits image

This is one of my hubby's delicious and eye-pleasing creations. He used tall parfait glasses, filled them 1/3 full of sliced strawberries, filled the glass the rest of the way with the strawberry mousse and then garnished it with a fresh, whole strawberry and sprig of mint. I should have taken a picture! DH used strawberries, but I look forward to trying it with other fruits such as mango, raspberries/blackberries (seived to remove the seeds) and peaches. Yum!
