Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (180g) Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp (85g) Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp (12g) Granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp Sea salt
- 8 oz (225g) Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120g) Powdered sugar, sifted
- 0.5 cup (20g) Freeze-dried strawberry powder
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla paste
- 1.5 cups (355ml) Cold heavy whipping cream
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and sea salt. Pour melted butter over the mixture and toss with a fork until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into an 8x8 inch dish and freeze for 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Sift in the freeze-dried strawberry powder and vanilla paste, mixing until the color is uniform.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry cream cheese base using a spatula to preserve aeration.
- Spread the mousse over the chilled crust. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
