Strawberry Yogurt Mousse Cake草莓酸奶慕斯蛋糕

Today I’m making strawberry yogurt mousse cake and Blueberry Mousse cake!  Yes, I made two cakes in a row. There is a box of leftover whipped cream and I want to use it before it goes bad. Therefore, the best way to use up all the whipped cream is to make a mousse cake. 

I need a break from the oven, well, not that I feel bored, but sometimes, cool dessert is great too! This strawberry yogurt mousse cake is a non-bake cake. This cool dessert is very refreshing, from the yogurt and the strawberry, and as always it's very easy to make.

This cool dessert is great to serve in the afternoon, with a cup of tea or coffee, well, you can imagine, the softness of the mousse, with the tangy and sweet taste (not overly sweet), what a good day!
