If using cream cheese, let it come to room temperature. If using coconut cream, ensure its contents are thick and creamy.
Remove stems from strawberries and blend or mash them until fully pureed.
In a food processor or blender, combine the pureed strawberries, cream cheese (or coconut cream), yogurt, and powdered sugar (or sweetener).
Blend everything together until smooth. If using a hand mixer, whip until stiff peaks form.
Transfer the mousse into individual serving cups or bowls.
Refrigerate the mousse for at least an hour to allow it to thicken and chill.

For a sweeter mousse, adjust the powdered sugar to your liking. You can also make a chocolate version by adding cocoa powder or melted chocolate.
