Strawberry Breakfast Mousse Crème
Quick Fix: 14 minutes start to finish (plus thawing time for whipped topping)
No more skipping breakfast! This breakfast treat, even creamier than the typical mousse, is a fabulously cool way to begin the day. You can even make it up to 24 hours in advance.
- 1 cup quartered strawberries
- 1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt
- 2 tablespoons all-fruit strawberry spread
- 3/4 cup fat-free frozen whipped topping, thawed in refrigerator
- 4 fresh mint springs (optional)
Serves: Serves 4 (1/2 cup per serving)
In a blender, process the strawberries, ricotta, yogurt, and strawberry spread for 20 to 30 seconds, or until smooth, stirring halfway through. Pour into a medium bowl. Gently fold in the whipped topping. Spoon into custard cups or small bowls. Garnish with the mint.
Tip: This strawberry mousse is also delicious spooned over fresh berries, such as blueberries. A serving would be a half-cup fresh berries and 2 tablespoons mousse.
