Strawberry Mousse Parfait
- 1 1/3 cups quartered strawberries (from 6 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (from 1 envelope)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons water
- 1/3 cup well-chilled heavy cream
- 3 butter cookies, coarsely crushed (1/4 cup)
- Mash 1 cup quartered strawberries with sugar and lemon juice in a bowl using a fork.
- Cut remaining strawberries into 1/4-inch dice and reserve.
- Sprinkle gelatin evenly over water in a very small saucepan and let stand 1 minute to soften, then warm over low heat, stirring until gelatin is dissolved.
- Stir gelatin mixture into mashed strawberries.
- Set bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stir frequently until a spoonful of gelatin mixture holds its shape briefly before dissolving back into mixture, about 5 minutes.
- Beat cream in another bowl with a whisk until it just holds stiff peaks.
- Fold 1/2 cup whipped cream into gelatin mixture, then fold in 1/4 cup diced strawberries (reserve remainder for topping).
- Spoon one third of strawberry mousse into a glass and sprinkle evenly with half of cookie crumbs, then top with half of remaining mousse and all of remaining cookie crumbs.
- Top with remaining mousse, whipped cream, and strawberries, then chill until set, about 30 minutes.
