How to Serve

A clear glass dessert cup holds a fluffy pink mousse with small red specks, filling almost to the top with a rounded, puffed texture. On the mousse sits a small ring of white whipped cream, soft and slightly textured, which forms a nest for a bright, glossy red strawberry with green leaves, placed upright in the center. The dessert cup stands on a white marbled surface with a blurred wooden background where whole strawberries are seen in soft focus. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
