Looking for a delicious and indulgent dessert that's also vegan? Look no further than this vegan strawberry and white chocolate mousse jar recipe!

Best of all, it's easy to make ahead for a dinner party and looks beautiful served in individual jars.

This recipe for strawberry and white chocolate mousse jars is a perfect balance of creamy and fruity flavours, made with vegan-friendly ingredients. Whether you're looking to impress guests or treat yourself to a fancy dessert, these jars are sure to satisfy your cravings.

📋 Ingredients

• White granulated sugar - You can use other types of sugar like raw sugar. Make sure your sugar is bone-char-free.
• Vegan white chocolate - I used the Healthy Crunch white chocolate chips because it has a strong chocolate flavour and is not too sweet. You can also use my homemade vegan white chocolate recipe or omit it from the recipe if you are not a white chocolate fan.
• Vegan whipped cream - Ambiante by Puratos is the whipped cream I use in this recipe. I can’t guarantee that this recipe will work with another non-dairy topping. If you do test it out with unsweetened cream, I recommend adding ¼ cup or 50 g of granulated sugar to sweeten it.

If you do try out another vegan whipping cream, let me know which one in the comment so I can keep other readers informed. 

🥣 Instructions

Here is an illustrated guide on how to make vegan strawberry and white chocolate mousse.

📖 Variations

I wanted to make this recipe a good strong base for you to customize as you wish. Here are some ideas for you to play with

• Replace the strawberries with raspberries.
• Add crumbled cookies and cubbed strawberries to the bottom of the jar before filling it with mousse. It adds a nice crunch!
• Layer this strawberry mouse with other mousse flavours like my Baileys chocolate mousse.
• Pipe it directly on a plate or make a  quenelle of mousse and decorate it with sauces, crumbles, cake cubes and micro greens for a high-end dessert experience.

👩🏻‍🍳 Top tip

I wrote this recipe so that people could taste both the strawberries and the white chocolate without one overwhelming the other. But if you want this to be more strawberry-forward, you can double the amount of strawberry sauce in the recipe.

Place the leftover strawberry sauce in a small pastry bag or a freezer plastic bag with a corner snipped off to make the perfect mess-free drizzle inside the jars.

If your strawberry sauce is not hot enough when you add it to the chocolate, you could end up with pieces of unmelted chocolate.

Here are potential solutions to this problem:

• Heat the strawberry mixture in the microwave in 30 seconds intervals, stirring the mixture in between, until the chocolate is all melted.
• Add 1 inch of water to a saucepan and place the bowl with the strawberry mixture on top to make a double boiler. Heat over medium heat while stirring constantly until the chocolate is all melted.

🔪 Equipment

You will need the following equipment to make this strawberry white chocolate vegan mousse

• Electric mixer, to whip the cream but it can be done by hand
• Large pastry bag and star-shaped pastry tip. I used an Ateco845
• Saucepan
• Blender
• Heatproof silicone spatula
• Sieve
• 12 small jars or 8 larger ones. I find glass yogurt containers and mason jars to be perfect for this

I highly recommend you use a digital scale and weight measurements when following my recipes as it is more accurate. The only exception is with very small quantities where I recommend using teaspoons.

🌡️ Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Do not freeze.

These vegan mousse jars are best eaten in 48 hours since the surface of the mousse tends to dry out. If the mousse is placed in jars with a lid, like a mason jar, you can store them for up to 4 days.
