Gelatin-Free Strawberry Mousse

As strawberry season comes to an end, one of the things I like to do is stock up on strawberries and make as many different things while I can and if I have any leftover, then I just pop them in the freezer and use them throughout the year for various other dishes.

Even though summer is technically over, it is still blazing outside and strawberry mousse is the perfect way to cool your off and satisfy your dessert cravings in a heartbeat!
