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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Spread the mousse over the chilled crust. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
