EASY STRAWBERRY MOUSSE

Steps:

• Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar together until medium peaks form.
• Once Jello mixture has cooled but is still runny (not chunky) slowly pour it into the cream mixture with mixer on low speed. (If jello mixture is to warm add 2-4 ice cubes to it to help cool but make sure it doesn't cool too much and become jelly. This will cause your mousse to have clumps in it.) NOTE: If jello mixture is too warm it will deflate the cream and become very runny).
