Tangy lemon lends a welcome tartness to this sweet, creamy strawberry mousse.

• 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons of icing sugar

2. Pour the lemon curd through a sieve, and let it cool.
3. Make the Chantilly cream by whipping the cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Mix in icing sugar and vanilla.
4. Fold in ⅓ of the Chantilly cream into the lemon curd, then add the second third and final third.
5. Hull and slice the strawberries, and add sugar if desired.
6. Add 2 heaping spoonfuls of strawberries to each glass, then top them with 2 spoonfuls of lemon mousse and another layer of strawberries. Add a final layer of lemon mousse.
7. Top it off with white chocolate shavings and a strawberry.
