Ingredients

• 600 gm strawberries
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp gulkand
• 2 tsp fennel seed powder
• 1 tsp agar agar
• 1.5 cups whipping cream
• 10 tbsp strawberry compote

How to Make Strawberry Gulkand Mousse

• Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
  Wash the strawberries well and cut them into small pieces. Grind them into a smooth puree.

• Step 2: Prepare Agar Agar
  Soak the agar agar in 2 tablespoons of warm water to activate it.

• Step 3: Cook the Strawberry Base
  Strain the strawberry puree into a pan and place it on medium heat. Add sugar, gulkand, fennel seed powder, and the activated agar agar. Cook for about 10 to 12 minutes until slightly thickened.

• Step 4: Whip the Cream
  Beat the whipping cream for about 3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.

• Step 5: Mix the Compote
  Add half of the strawberry compote to the whipped cream and beat again for another 3 minutes. Transfer this mixture into a piping bag.

• Step 6: Layer the Mousse
  Take a glass jar and add about 1.5 teaspoons of gulkand at the bottom. Pipe the cream mixture until the jar is halfway full. Add 1 tablespoon of strawberry compote, then pipe another layer of the cream mixture on top.

• Step 7: Chill
  Place the jars in the refrigerator for about 3 hours so the mousse can set properly.

• Step 8: Garnish and Serve
  Top with fresh strawberry pieces before serving.
