Clean and hull the strawberries. Starting with about half of the strawberries, quarter them and purée them in either a blender or food processor.

Melt white chocolate in a double boiler, or a stainless steel bowl set over simmering water. Stir until smooth, set aside.

Soften the gelatin: Put ¼ cup of cold water into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the water and let sit for 5 minutes.

Put ¼ cup of the cream into a small saucepan on medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the powdered sugar and bring to a simmer. Stir in the water gelatin mixture until dissolved.

Pour this mixture into the bowl with the melted white chocolate and whisk until smooth.

Stir in ¾ cup of the puréed strawberries, reserving the remaining ¼ cup.
-
Using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the remaining 1¾ cups of cream on medium-high speed until medium peaks form.
-
Stir a third of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Stir the remaining 1 tablespoons of lemon juice into the reserved sliced berries. Fold the sliced berries into the mousse.
