Charlotte Aux Fraises
- 3 1/2 ounces digestive biscuits
- 4 1/4 tablespoons melted butter
- 3/4 pound strawberry puree Fresh
- 5 5/8 tablespoons egg white
- 6 3/8 tablespoons sugar
- 7 3/16 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 9/16 cup cream Fresh topping
- 7/8 cup whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- lady fingers
- strawberries Fresh, about 600g
- Combine crushed biscuit crumbs and melted butter together in a mixing bowl. Press the biscuit crumbs onto the base of the prepared pan and chill in the refrigerator for later use.
- Soak gelatin powder with 3 tbsp water for 5 minutes. Rinse strawberries and cut into pieces and puree it with 100ml water in a food processor or liquidizer.
- In a sauce pot light boil strawberry puree under medium heat. (Add soaked gelatin into it when strawberry is almost boiled and stir with a hand whisk till gelatin dissolved). Remove strawberry puree once it is boiled and leave to cool in a larger bowl.
- Make Meringue: Whisk egg white at medium speed until foamy. Then, add in sugar gradually and whisk until soft peak form. Leave aside for later use.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk fresh topping cream and whipping cream together until soft peak form. (you can also use all 260g fresh topping cream instead if you prefer a sweeter mousse).
- Sift yogurt first. Then fold it in the strawberry puree. Add in meringue and whisked cream and mix well.
- Pour mixture into the cake tin and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Decorate with strawberries and sift some snow powder on top.
- Cut one end or half of the lady fingers (depending the height of your cake) with a sharp knife. Then line them up around the cake and tie up with a ribbon.
