Makes: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

600g seasonal sweet strawberries

125ml melted coconut oil

1 vanilla pod (bean), scraped

To serve:

Fresh strawberries or raspberries

Mint leaves or edible flowers

Method

1. Add all the mousse ingredients to a high-speed blender and blitz until well incorporated. The mixture needs to emulsify properly.

2. The oil needs to completely emulsify with the strawberry, so make sure there are no white dots in the mix and it’s just a beautiful pink colour throughout.

3. Pour into individual glasses and let the mousse set in the fridge for 3 hours. Once set, top with fresh strawberry slices or other berries.
