Strawberry and Mascarpone Mousse Cups

Sharing is caring!

These Strawberry and Mascarpone Mousse Cups are irresistible. The strawberry mousse is made with fresh strawberries reduced down into a puree and then folded into whipped cream to give it a pure and intense strawberry flavor. The mascarpone cream is rich and decadent. The two mousses combined in one bite is just heavenly. Layer the mousses in mini martini glasses for a fun presentation and you’ll have a dessert that your guests will never forget.
