- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
- Prepare the strawberries: In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and release their juices. Remove from heat and blend until smooth. Allow the strawberry purée to cool.
- Melt the white chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Whip the cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Fold in the white chocolate: Gently fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Add the strawberry purée: Once the strawberry purée has cooled, fold it into the white chocolate mixture until fully combined.
- Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
