🛒 Ingredients

15 servings

15
  • 1 packet strawberry-flavoured gelatin (85 g)
  • 200 ml cold heavy cream
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 395 g)
  • 500 g fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 120 ml boiling water

Directions

  1. 1

    Pour the boiling water over the gelatin powder in a bowl and stir for 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set aside 200 g of the whole strawberries for garnish. Add the remaining 300 g to a blender along with the condensed milk, heavy cream and the cooled gelatin.

  3. 3

    Blend on high speed for 1–2 minutes until smooth and slightly frothy.

  4. 4

    Pour the mixture into a glass dish or individual dessert glasses. Top with the reserved whole strawberries.

  5. 5

    Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.

💡 Chef's Tip

For an extra-airy texture, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks before folding it gently into the blended mixture.
