Ingredients:

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup strawberry purée
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter and spread it evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden. Let it cool.
In a bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg whites until combined.
Divide the mixture into two parts. To one section, add the strawberry purée and mix well.
In a serving dish, add a layer of the strawberry mousse, followed by a layer of the plain mousse, then sprinkle some streusel. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Then slice and garnish with fresh strawberries on top.
