Begin by rinsing 1 pound of fresh strawberries under cool water. Remove the green tops and slice them in half, placing them into a mixing bowl.

In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries with about 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Blend everything on high until smooth, which should take about 30 seconds. Reserve ½ cup of this puree for later use.

Take 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and pour it into a chilled mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until stiff peaks form, which should take about 2-4 minutes.

Gently fold the reserved strawberry puree into your whipped cream using a spatula, carefully mixing until just combined.

To serve, take small glasses or bowls and layer ½ cup of the extra strawberry puree at the bottom. Spoon the creamy mousse on top.

When ready to serve, add a few slices of fresh strawberries on top of each mousse serving.
