Berry Mix Mousse
Instead of using just strawberries, you can use a combination of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a berry-licious mousse.
Cream Alternative
For a variation and a different flavor profile, you can substitute coconut cream with almond or cashew cream.
Serving Suggestions
Just like any other mousse, it is best served chilled as a refreshing summer dessert. Enjoy it as it is or pair it with a dollop of whipped coconut cream or a scoop of strawberry ice cream to make it extra indulgent.
For a more gourmet look, you can also top it with a drizzle of berry compote for added flavor.
You can also serve it as part of a dessert platter along with mango cheesecake, Mascarpone Cream Cheese Chocolate Mousse, Avocado Chocolate Mousse Recipe, Cream Cheese Lemon Mousse, Mango Pudding, or Mini Blueberry Tarte Tatin when serving at parties or get-togethers.
Storage Suggestions
You can store this vegan strawberry mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you are planning to store it for a couple of days, make sure to garnish it with sliced strawberries right before serving to retain freshness.
Do not freeze this mousse, as the texture may change upon thawing.

Strawberry Coconut Mousse (Step-by-step photo instructions)
How to Make Strawberry Coconut Mousse
- Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Reserve 3-4 strawberries for garnishing. Add the remaining strawberries to a blender or food processor, along with the sugar. Blend the fresh strawberries into a smooth puree. You can use the puree as is or strain it for a smoother texture.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the strawberry puree. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly. This simmering step thickens the puree and helps create a firmer mousse without the use of gelatin or agar agar.
- Let the puree cool completely to room temperature. Once cooled, add it to a food processor, along with the coconut cream, and blend until smooth.
- Divide the strawberry mousse evenly among serving glasses or bowls. Garnish with sliced strawberries and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until set. Your Coconut Strawberry Mousse is ready to serve. Enjoy it chilled!
