Strawberry Mousse

Directions

1. 1
   1. Chop strawberries into small pieces. The cup should be measured with the strawberries already chopped. (Whole strawberries take up more space.)
2. 2
   2. Place strawberries, egg whites, sugar in a mixer bowl.
3. 3
   3. Beat on maximum for 15-20 minutes. Try not to stop the mixer.
4. 4
   4. Once mousse is stiff and does not seem to be rising any longer (it comes to the top of the beater in my 4.5 qt mixer bowl), stop beating.
5. 5
   5. Mousse can be eaten as is, or frozen over long periods of time. If you don't need to eat it immediately, I would recommend eating it cold, it's like an extremely airy ice cream.

   ENJOY!

   Notes:
8. 8
   The mousse takes a little to start rising, but once it does it's unstoppable. Don't get anxious, use a minimum of 15 minutes of beating.
9. 9
   The mixer sometimes leaves strawberry pieces whole. If I weren't so lazy I'd puree them before making the mousse. I'll try it next time and get back to you.

    This can also be used as a kind of strawberry frosting, though then I might halve the recipe.
