A lactose-free strawberry and almond mousse
Recipes for mousse usually require the use of cream or whipped cream.

Benefits of this dessert
Strawberry
Strawberries are great for any healthy diet because they are low in sugars, calories and fat. They also have diuretic properties that help fight fluid retention that cause bloating and weight gain.
They are also rich in vitamin C, folic acid, manganese, iodine and potassium.
Thanks to their nutritional value, regular intake of strawberries can help regulate cholesterol levels in your blood, prevent osteoporosis, fight constipation and even improve your vision.
Almonds
Almonds are a nut that is good to eat at any age. After all, they contain a lot of nutrients, proteins, healthy fats and fiber.
Although they have a high calorie content, they are converted to a large amount of energy. And they will not have a negative effect on your weight if you eat them in moderation (a handful a day).
Almonds are also rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects us from aging, internally as well as externally.
Almonds will allow us to avoid using dairy products in this recipe as they will add creaminess to our mousse.

Strawberry and almond mousse
Without further ado, here’s the recipe for this delicious and healthy strawberry mousse:
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds (150 g)
- 3 egg whites
- 1 cup water (200 ml)
- 3 tablespoons liquid refined stevia (30 ml)
- 3 cups strawberries (510 g)
Note: We recommend that you use organic strawberries because others that are not grown naturally usually contain many pesticides. These can penetrate into the outside of the fruit through the delicate outer pores.
Preparation
- One hour before making this recipe, soak the almonds to activate them. This makes them easier to digest and easier to cook.
- Separate the egg whites from the egg yolk and whip them until they achieve a creamy and frothy consistency. Save it for later.
- Blend the softened almonds with a cup of water for at least a minute until you obtain a fairly thick cream.
- Then add the stevia and strawberries and then continue blending. At this point, you can test it to see if it needs more sweetener. It depends on your preference and how sweet the fruit is.
- Continue to slowly add the egg whites to the mixture so you can continue to mix everything without the egg whites losing their airiness.
- Then put the cream in the cups or containers that you want to use, cover them and place them in the fridge.
- You have to wait 24 hours before eating this dessert if you want to achieve the right texture.
