Directions
- 1
In a large saucepan, combine the milk, sweetened condensed milk and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth.
- 2
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens noticeably.
- 3
Remove from the heat, let it cool for a few minutes, then whisk in the heavy cream.
- 4
Pour the cream into a large mould or deep dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- 5
Wash and hull the strawberries, halve them and arrange them evenly over the cream.
- 6
Prepare the jelly with half the usual water: 150 ml boiling water to dissolve the powder, then 150 ml cold water.

Gently pour the cooled jelly over the strawberries, covering the whole surface.
- 8
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until the jelly is fully set, before serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
Use ripe, fragrant strawberries — they carry all the flavour. For a clean unmould, briefly dip the dish in hot water. The dessert keeps for 2 to 3 days in the fridge, covered with cling film.
