These Strawberry Mousse Cups are an easy dessert! A fluffy strawberry mousse is served in chocolate shells for a fun and simple Valentine’s Day treat!
What’s this? It’s the first 2016 Valentine’s Day treat of the year! I’m way behind due to some failed recipes, a crazy workload, and some travel, but sometimes I think those things remind me that I just need to keep it simple sometimes. And these Strawberry Mousse Cups are just that: simple, sweet, and filled with strawberry awesomeness!
My 4-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse Cups have been pretty popular and I think you guys are really going to love these ones too! They come together really quickly and seriously, who doesn’t love a bite-sized dessert!
These are great for kid’s school parties or even just to make at home and nibble on throughout the day since Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday this year. These mousse cups are great for serving up at baby and bridal showers too!

It was either the Wilton 1B or 2D.

What size and style piping tip did you use to get that effect in the photo? If you remember, since this is 3 years past the time. 🙂

Hi Jenny, it sounds like maybe the mixture needs to be whipped a bit longer. You could also try adding an additional tablespoon of pudding powder (you’re not making the pudding, just using the powder, correct?)

I am obvijennyously doing something wrong when making these. I have tried several times and my mouse does not stay up in the cups like yours does and when I put the strawberry piece on top it completely flattens the mousse. Please help me. I need 50 of these for this Saturday

Hi Paula, you should be able to find that at Trader Joe’s and Target. Other grocers may carry them as well.
