Strawberry Mousse – the ultimate creamy strawberry dessert. It’s rich yet light and fluffy, and a dairy-free bite of heaven!
I was seriously tempted to call this million-dollar strawberry mousse because I used one of my son’s favorite expensive as heck treats to make it.
This is the perfect decadent sweet for Valentine’s Day or any time you want to splurge and spoil yourself. I normally reach for anything chocolate like this 3-ingredient Vegan Chocolate Mousse BUT, again, it was a special day so I had to make something a bit extra.
I find that that this is the treat I always reach for when it’s my monthly moon. I try to focus on eating healthier treats that work with my hormones around that time and this recipe is a winner.

This looks yummy & fresh for spring! I’ll definitely have to try this out soon!
xo, Angel
it looks yummy!
Sounds yummy. I do have one question. Is there a purpose to using dehydrated and fresh strawberries? Can you use all of one or the other?
The dehyrated strawberries give it a very strong strawberry flavor and don’t add more “water” to the recipe.
this yummy recipe is yet another reason why we absolutely LOVE your site! =)
Thanks hun!
I adore the freeze-dried fruits (especially peaches) but they are incredibly expensive. This looks like a good use to me.
Seriously So Pricey and my son will eat a bag in 30 seconds. No joke. It really packs a punch of flavor in this recipe.
Is there something I can substitute for the coconut oil? I too sensitive but I really want this!
Butter if you can tolerate it.
These look so cute and adorable… oh… and yum! We’ve just added it to our list ‘the best paleo valentines day recipes!’ thanks so much for sharing and we can’t wait to try them out! e +c
Thanks hun!
OMG! This recipe is to die for! I’m on a restricted subset of AIP and thought desserts were a thing of the past. This was soooooo good, I got out the VitaMix wrench to take it apart to I could “lick the beaters”. So yummy.
Yeah! I’m so happy you enjoyed it hun 🙂
I just made this and it was delicious! I wasn’t sure how the melted coconut oil would fit in but it made the mousse so smooth and creamy. Trying not to eat it all in one go!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Have to ask, where did you get those adorable ramekins? They match my “fancy china” to a tee and I would love to pick some up!
Thanks in advance!
Kasey
I got them at Cost Plus 🙂
Yum Kelly!!! Pinned!
This continues to be one of our faves. I just discovered that, after chilling it, popping it in the freezer for half hour makes it even better!
Yum! I’m going to try that the next time I made it Nancy 🙂
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for sharing your recipe! I’ve never used avocado in a sweet treat before. Was wondering if the end product starts to turn a little brown after a day or two from the avocado? Thanks!
Nope, there was no color change although this only lasts two days in our house.
This is amazing and so easy!!!
This is one of my new favorite recipes to satisfy my husband’s sweet tooth occasionally while on AIP. It’s delicious and easy. Trader Joes also has dried blueberries and raspberries so I may try it with one of those berries just to mix it up next time.
Yeah! So glad you enjoy it Valerie!
Oh. My. Gosh. This is SO good! Just made it and am having a really hard time putting it in the fridge to set up- I want to put it all in my face right now!!! Btw, Amazon has a decent price on a 4oz bag… Makes it a bit more do-able, financially speaking. THANK YOU for an awesome AIP sweet treat. I will add some Great Lakes collagen next time to make it seem even “healthier” 🙂
So glad you enjoyed it and collagen is a great addition 🙂
sounds wonderful, where I live i never saw dried strawberries, What could I use instead, , maybe dried or frozen blueberries? or another dried fruit
?
yep that will work laura
I would love to try this recipe. But . . . . I’m allergic to bananas! I can’t think of any possible substitutes, especially for that much volume.
Anyone have an idea??
Thanks,
Anne
You can try sweet potato hun
This was absolutely heavenly! SO much strawberry flavor with just the right amount of sweetness! Wonderful recipe that I’ll be making again for sure!
So glad you enjoyed it hun <3
thanks for this, it’s exactly what I was looking for. I can’t wait to try it using my recently purchases (and yes, super expensive) freeze dried strawberries. does it really need the coconut oil or can I skip it? not really keen on substituting with butter either.
I would use the coconut oil Mich
Sounds delish! Would this work with raspberries or would that flavor clash with the avocado?
Should be fine.
This looks delicious, would love to try it! Just one question, I’m allergic to avocado, what could be the substitute or should I just skip it?
Thank you in advance!
Best wishes:)
You can try skipping it hon.
