Blend Ingredients Together: In a food processor or blender, combine the pureed strawberries, cream cheese (or coconut cream), yogurt, powdered sugar, and the optional vanilla bean paste. Blend until completely smooth.
Chill to Thicken: Transfer the mixture into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the mousse with garnishes like fresh fruit or crushed cookies.
