Best Tres Strawberry Mousse Pie Recipes

STRAWBERRY MOUSSE PIE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, mix the gelatin with cold water and allow it to bloom for about 5 minutes. Heat over low heat, stirring until the gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat.
• In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries and sugar. Pour into a bowl and add the gelatin mixture. Chill 15-20 (in the refrigerator or freezer) to thicken and partially set.
• While the strawberry mixture is chilling, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
• Fold the whipping cream into the strawberry mixture, leaving enough whipped cream set aside for topping.
• Pour mixture into a graham cracker crust and chill at least two hours to set. Before serving, top with additional whipped cream. Garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves.

STRAWBERRY MOUSSE PIE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir together until a thick mixture forms.
• Press the crust into an un-greased pie pan. Use your fingers and the bottom of a flat cup to evenly distribute the mixture on the bottom and the sides of the pan. Make sure the pie mixture is really compacted.
• Place the pie pan in the freeze for 30 minutes before adding the filling. If you're preparing the crust days or hours in advance, cover the pie pan with foil or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
• In a small bowl, add the lemon juice then sprinkle with the gelatin. Set aside and allow the gelatin to soften.
• In a blender, puree 2 cups of strawberries (remove the stems) until smooth. 2 cups of fresh strawberries will yield about 1-1.5 cups puree.
• In a pot over medium heat on the stove, combine the strawberry puree and 1/2 cup sugar. Allow the mixture to cook until the edges bubble.
• Add the softened gelatin (it will be thick) and stir until the gelatin dissolves, about 1 minute.
• Pour the pie filling into a large bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream with 2 tbsp of sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the cream into stiff peaks, about 4-6 minutes.
• Once you have stiff peaks, gently fold the strawberry puree into the cream, mixing until it's all combined. If you'd like to create a simple design on the top of your pie, reserve a small amount of strawberry puree.
• Remove the crust from the freezer or fridge and pour the filling into the pan. If desired, use the small amount of strawberry puree that you set aside to add a simple design to the top of the pie. I used a toothpick to create swirls.
• Loosely cover the pie pan and refrigerate for about 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Before serving, if desired, pipe on whipped cream swirls and top each swirl with a strawberry slice.
• Slice and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers.
