Strawberry Charlotte in a Glass
Copyright : Lulu@VoyageGourmand |
I like the desserts in a glass, especially for the beautiful presentation to each guest. As the strawberries are in season, it's the perfect time to prepare exquisite delicacies with this red fruit. Try to make this recipe at home... I think you will like the strawberry mousse - not too sweet and light in mouth - combined with smooth ladyfingers.
INGREDIENTS (4 serving)
12 ladyfingers
300g small strawberries (in France we prefer Gariguettes or Mara des Bois !)
40g granulated sugar
10g icing sugar
200ml whipping cream 38% fat
2 gelatine leaves
2 tbsp brown rum
DIRECTIONS
Wash strawberries under clear water, remove the stalk. Keep 4 strawberries for the decoration.
Mix the remaining strawberries in a blender with the sugar.
Divide this sauce: keep 1/5 that will be used for dipping the ladyfingers, the rest will be used for the mousse.
Prepare your strawberry mousse. Fill a glass with the mousse, pour it in a saucepan.
Bring it to a boil and combine the gelatine. Stir to combine. Mix with remaining sauce and reserve.
Meantime, whip the cream (very cold) with icing sugar to get a "chantilly" whipped cream.
Once the cream very thick, add to the fruits sauce. Stir to combine with a spatula.
Prepare the syrup and the charlotte. Take the strawverry sauce. Add 3 tbsp of water and rum.
Dip ladyfingers in the rum syrup. Line the sides of glasses with biscuits. Garnish the glass with the strawberry mousse and chill for minimum 2 hours.

Cut the strawberries - that you have kept for the decoration - in thin slices (as shown on the photo above) and top each dessert with a fruit.
