Naturally sweet and amazingly creamy, this High Protein Strawberry Mousse tastes like homemade strawberry ice cream with a boost of protein to keep you satisfied! <\/em><\/p>\n Mouse is a light and airy dessert \u2013 different than thick and creamy pudding, or custard, and definitely different than jello. Although it has components of all of these, the key is the whipping of ingredients to incorporate lots of air. <\/p>\n This mousse recipe has fresh strawberries as the base which is just a simple puree combining strawberries and honey. After your puree is made, you will whip both the egg whites and the heavy cream separately until they reach stiff peaks. <\/p>\n Most mousse recipes don\u2019t add yogurt, but I wanted to boost the nutrition in this recipe and so it makes the perfect ingredient for that purpose. <\/p>\n After everything has been mixed separately, you will gently fold it all together. SO GENTLY!! You don\u2019t want to break the air bubbles that make this mousse light, airy and deliciously smooth. <\/p>\n The last step is to refrigerate to let it set. Then serve it will fresh strawberries on top! <\/p>\n This recipe doesn\u2019t have protein powders, but uses whole foods that are naturally high in protein! The two protein sources are egg whites and Greek yogurt. Both of these not only contribute protein, but also give this mousse an amazing texture! <\/p>\n The egg whites make it airy and fluffy, and the Greek yogurt makes it creamy. Soooo good. <\/p>\n What if your mousse just isn\u2019t as thick as you would like and you want to make it thicker? First, there are a few reasons that your mousse might be too runny:<\/p>\n If you followed the recipe and none of those things are a problem in your mousse, there are a couple of options you can try to add thickening to the mousse. <\/p>\n For this mousse recipe, the ideal time is to let it set in the fridge for about 3-4 hours. You can check it earlier and test if it has set to your preference. <\/p>\n Mousse is made up of just a few ingredients: the base, the aerator, the flavor enhancer, and the thickener. For this recipe, the base is the Greek yogurt, the aerator is the egg whites, the flavor enhancer is the strawberry puree and honey, and the thickener is heavy cream. <\/p>\n I WOULD LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK!\u00a0\u00a0If you make this High Protein Strawberry Mousse recipe, will you leave a comment and star rating below?
