While I am busy working, Shelby of The Life and Loves of Grumpy’s Honeybunch has graciously agreed to do a guest blog post to help me out. Shelby is an experienced blogger with hundreds (or maybe thousands) of amazing recipes and wonderful stories about her life. Please be sure to visit Shelby at her blog and on Facebook, and Pinterest, Twitter. Continuing this week’s strawberry theme, today Shelby is sharing a delicious and gorgeous Easy Strawberry Mouse.  Take it away Shelby!

Just a few weeks ago when I was on vacation, Michele did a guest post for me with her delicious Bang Bang Chicken recipe. This week I am returning the favor to her by sharing this awesome Easy Strawberry Mousse!

Easy Strawberry Mousse

This recipe seemed scary to me at first.  After all, it had unflavored gelatin in it which is something I don’t normally use.  I was also unsure how it would work because I wanted to use Splenda instead of sugar. However, I had all these strawberries that I really needed to use up so I bit the bullet and made the recipe and am really so glad that I did!

Easy Strawberry Mousse

Easy really is the word for this Strawberry Mousse recipe. This was light, fluffy, flavorful, and the perfect little ending to a meal. This recipe is special on its own with no frilly toppings! If your looking for a dessert to impress guests with this summer, then I definitely think is one you should try.  Thank you Michele for allowing me to share this creamy, light, fresh and delicious strawberry mousse with your readers!
