- Ingredients
- 2 pkgs Ladyfinger
- 0.333 cup water
- 1 envelope gelatin
- 3 cups frozen, whole Strawberries (defrosted)
- 0.333 cup sugar
- 1 cup plain, whole milk Yogurt
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups fresh Strawberries (hulled and cut in half)
- Fruit (for decoration)
Preparation steps
1.
Line the sides and bottom of an 8 inch springform pan with lady fingers and set aside.
2.
Sprinkle the gelatin over the water. Once the gelatin has expanded in the water, heat the mixture up and stir until all of the gelatin granules have dissolved.
3.
In the bowl of a food processor add the defrosted strawberries. Process until you have a smooth puree. Add in the gelatin and sugar and puree until well combined. Stir in the yogurt.
4.
In a separate large bowl, whip the cream until just beginning to stiffen. Fold in the strawberry and yogurt mixture.
5.
Pour half of the strawberry cream into the springform and refrigerate for about 35 minutes. Cover the remaining cream and set aside, not refrigerated.
6.
Remove the cake from the refrigerator. The cream will have begun to thicken slightly. Carefully arrange the strawberries over the cream and then spoon the remaining cream over the top.
7.
Return the cake to the refrigerator and leave it there for 4 hours or until the cake is firm. Keep it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Decorate as desired with fresh fruit.
