Products Used

Extra Fine Granulated Pure Cane Sugar Bag

Ingredients

Jello Layer

2 (3 oz) packages strawberry Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
2 cups cold water

Strawberry Mousse Layer

1 pound fresh strawberries
2/3 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
Creme Chantilly (optional topping)
Extra strawberries (optional garnish)

Directions

For Jell-O layer, line up 8 individual cups. (To chill glasses at an angle, you can use a cupcake pan and set a large marshmallow under each cup to ensure they don’t tip back over while they cool.)
In a large bowl, dissolve 2 packages strawberry Jell-O in boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Then stir in cold water.
Divide Jello liquid evenly between glasses and chill until Jell-O is set, about 4 hours.
For Strawberry Mousse Layer, wash and hull strawberries. Add strawberries and sugar to a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth.
Using a mixer, beat heavy whipping cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Then fold in strawberry puree gently.
Spoon mousse into glasses on top of set Jell-O. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Garnish with Crème Chantilly and extra strawberries, if desired.
