Sous Vide Strawberry Mousse

Sweet summer strawberries are great when eaten straight from the berry patch or farmers' market, but if you're looking for new ways to feature fresh strawberries, try this sous vide strawberry mousse. A light, seasonal, dessert it takes very little time to make in the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker. (And compared to ice cream, it's pretty healthy.)
