Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftover mousse in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It’s best enjoyed within 2 to 3 days.
  • Freezing: While mousse can be frozen, it’s best enjoyed fresh. If you do freeze it, ensure it's in a freezer-safe container.
  • Pairing: This mousse pairs wonderfully with a crisp shortbread cookie or a slice of pound cake.
  • Serving suggestion: Consider serving the mousse in small cups or jars for a fun presentation.
  • Variations: Feel free to experiment with other fruits like raspberries or mango for a different flavor profile!
