Remember those Saturday mornings as a kid, when cartoons blared from the TV and the only thing that mattered was the mountain of sugary cereal in your bowl? Yeah, me too. But as grown-ups, maybe, just maybe, we can elevate that childhood joy a notch, without sacrificing any of the fun. That's where this Strawberry Mousse Cereal comes in, a breakfast concoction so ridiculously good, it's practically dessert disguised as a morning meal. And who are we to argue with that logic? Plus, it's stupid simple to make.
The inspiration? Well, one gloomy Tuesday, staring into my nearly empty fridge, I saw some leftover strawberry mousse from a dinner party (yes, I host dinner parties, sometimes). My eyes drifted to the lonely box of cereal on the shelf, and BAM! A breakfast epiphany. What if, just what if, I combined the two? Turns out, it's pure magic. This isn’t just throwing some cereal in a bowl, its a breakfast experience, a symphony of textures and tastes that will make you want to jump out of bed in the morning. Maybe.
This recipe is more than just a meal; it’s a hug in a bowl. It's a reminder that even on the busiest days, there's always room for a little bit of sweetness, a little bit of fun. So ditch the boring toast and embrace the Strawberry Mousse Cereal. Your inner child (and your taste buds) will thank you. And, if you’re feeling extra fancy, add a dollop of whipped cream. Why not? Life's too short for boring breakfasts. Just remember that even tho it is incredibly easy to make mistakes happen. Don't ask how I know...

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Mousse: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry puree (made from fresh or frozen strawberries) with the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Make sure your strawberries are ripe; otherwise, the mousse may not be sweet enough. Frozen works too!
- Whip the Mousse: Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer), whip the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, or the mousse may become grainy. The mousse should be light and airy. If you are unsure how stiff the peaks should be, there are many videos online that shows you exactly what it looks like. Trust me, I had to use them many times. I still do tbh...
- Chill the Mousse (Optional but Recommended): For the best texture, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the mousse to firm up slightly. I normally just do 15 minutes. It gets the job done.
- Assemble the Cereal Bowls: Divide your favorite cereal among individual bowls. I like using a cereal that has a bit of crunch, like frosted flakes or granola, to contrast with the creaminess of the mousse. This recipe works great with anything. Even that weird cereal your parents bought you as a kid, that you swore was made from cardboard.
- Spoon the Mousse: Generously spoon the strawberry mousse over the cereal in each bowl. Make sure to get a good ratio of cereal to mousse for the perfect bite. Don't be shy!
- Add Fresh Strawberries: Top each bowl with sliced fresh strawberries. This adds a burst of fresh flavor and a pop of color. If strawberries aren't your thing, you can use other berries like raspberries or blueberries. Just don't use green beans. I'm not sure why, but someone suggested it the other day.
- Optional Garnishes: For an extra touch of decadence, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried strawberries, or a drizzle of honey. Get creative and have fun!
- Serve Immediately: This Strawberry Mousse Cereal is best served immediately, before the cereal gets soggy. Enjoy your delightful breakfast treat!
📝 Notes
- Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to taste, depending on the sweetness of your strawberries.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat heavy cream.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cereal and berries.
