Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 40 minutes
Cooking Time: No cooking

 

Ingredients
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup whipped cream cheese
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, pureed
2 tbsp sweetened coco powder

Cooking Tools
Food processor
Hand mixer
Medium mixing bowls

Directions
In a food processor, puree fresh strawberries, place in refrigerator to keep chilled.  In a mixing bowl; add cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract.  Start to whip at low speed, so you don't have a cloud of powdered sugar, then whip on high until smooth and well blended. In a separate bowl; add whipping cream and using a hand mixer, whip cream on high until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into the whipped cream cheese mousse mixture until well incorporated. Divide the whipped cream cheese mousse mixture into 3 equal portions into separate bowls.  This mixture is the base for all three flavors.  Place the first, plain vanilla mixture in the refrigerator to chill until ready to layer. In the second bowl, fold in pureed strawberries and blend until well incorporated. In the third bowl; add coco powder to the vanilla mousse mixture and using a hand mixture to blend well ( don't over whip, or you will end up with butter).  To assemble:  In a serving glass, add a layer of chocolate mousse, then strawberry mousse, then top with the vanilla mousse. Repeat with the other serving glasses.  Chill in refrigerator for an hour before serving.
