The preparation of a beautiful and mouth-watering dessert can be greatly simplified if you use ready-made "ladies' fingers" and just make a mousse. However, there is one drawback here - the charlotte will no longer be so stunningly beautiful.
It is necessary
- - 6 pcs. eggs;
- - 150 g flour;
- - 400 ml cream (35%);
- - 2 tbsp. tablespoons of lemon juice;
- - a bag of gelatin (for 600 ml of liquid);
- - 600 g of strawberries and for decoration - 300 g;
- - 3 bags of vanilla sugar;
- - 300 g of sugar (150 g each for mousse and for biscuit);
Instructions
Step 1
Make a 23 cm sponge cake and 24 ladies' fingers. Separate the whites from the yolks, beat the yolks with 100 g of sugar until a white thick cream, adding half the flour. Whisk the whites, adding 50 g of sugar, continue whisking until shiny and firm.
Stir in the whites gently to the yolks and combine with the remaining flour, stir.
Step 2
Transfer the finished dough into a bag, cutting off a corner, and place your fingers on the parchment. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of your fingers. Pour the remaining dough into a parchment-lined mold. Bake at 180 ° C: fingers for 13 minutes and biscuit for 25 minutes.
Step 3
Prepare the mousse. Whisk in a blender and strain 300 g of strawberries through a sieve. Add 150 g of sugar. Soak the gelatin in a little water, let it swell for 10 minutes. Then heat with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, stir and cool.
Step 4
Add gelatin to the berry puree, wait 20 minutes, when it thickens. Cut 300 g strawberries into slices, whip the cream until creamy. Put cream and chopped strawberries in berry puree, refrigerate for 30 minutes to thicken.
Step 5
Make vanilla syrup: Dissolve 3 tbsp. tablespoons of vanilla sugar in 5 tbsp. spoons of warm water, soak the biscuit and fingers with syrup. Put the thickened mousse on the biscuit in a container with a removable bottom. And place it in the refrigerator again for 30-60 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the charlotte to a plate by removing the rim from the mold. Place your fingers around the edge and tie it with a ribbon for beauty and stability. Decorate the dessert with strawberries.
