Puree the fresh strawberries, lemon juice, and granulated sugar in a blender until the mixture is smooth

Melt the butter and chocolate chips in 30-second increments in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring in between, until smooth

Beat the eggs and vanilla extract together in a different bowl

In order to prevent curdling, gradually add the egg mixture to the melted chocolate while whisking continuously

After thoroughly combining, fold the strawberry puree into the chocolate mixture

Beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together in a different bowl until stiff peaks form

Until there are no more streaks, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-strawberry mixture

After dividing the mousse among serving glasses, chill it for at least four hours, or until it solidifies
