Strawberry Mousse Recipe

If you are participating in Monday, Mmm ... Dessert, then be sure to leave your recipe link below.  Thanks for stopping by and participating.  :-)

This is an easy recipe, and the gelatin ensures that the mousse won't liquify, so it's fairly foolproof too.  It's delicious on its own, or you can use it as a filling for a cake, cream puffs, or other pastry.

You can also let this mousse set in a heart-shaped dish or rose-shaped mold.  It would be just lovely for Mother's Day.  Remember this recipe for Valentine's Day too, just use frozen strawberries since they will be out of season in February.
