I love Korean Strawberry for they are always sweet and juicy and they are in season right now. I made this Charlotte Aux Fraises or Strawberry Charlotte for YN's birthday last weekend. This lovely cake is full of sweetness and fragrance from the fresh strawberries. It is light and smooth, just melts in your mouth. Definitely a keeper for sure ♥♥♥
Charlotte Aux Fraises
Ingredients: (8 inch round cake)
Cake Base
100g Digestive biscuits
60g Melted Butter
Strawberry Yogurt Mousse
330g Fresh strawberry puree
85g Egg white
80g Sugar
110g Plain yogurt
160g Fresh topping cream
100g Whipping cream
15g Gelatin powder
Lady Fingers
Fresh strawberries (about 600g)
Snow powder
Method:
- Combine crushed biscuit crumbs and melted butter together in a mixing bowl. Press the biscuit crumbs onto the base of the prepared pan and chill in the refrigerator for later use.
- Soak gelatin powder with 3 tbsp water for 5 minutes. Rinse strawberries and cut into pieces and puree it with 100ml water in a food processor or liquidizer.
- In a sauce pot light boil strawberry puree under medium heat. (Add soaked gelatin into it when strawberry is almost boiled and stir with a hand whisk till gelatin dissolved). Remove strawberry puree once it is boiled and leave to cool in a larger bowl.
- Make Meringue: Whisk egg white at medium speed until foamy. Then, add in sugar gradually and whisk until soft peak form. Leave aside for later use.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk fresh topping cream and whipping cream together until soft peak form. (you can also use all 260g fresh topping cream instead if you prefer a sweeter mousse).
- Sift yogurt first. Then fold it in the strawberry puree. Add in meringue and whisked cream and mix well.
- Pour mixture into the cake tin and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Decorate with strawberries and sift some snow powder on top.
- Cut one end or half of the lady fingers (depending the height of your cake) with a sharp knife. Then line them up around the cake and tie up with a ribbon.
kitchen note: I only poured 3/4 of the strawberry mousse into the cake tin as I don't want the cake to look very high and pour the remaining mousse to serving cups. You can serve the cups with fresh strawberry and chocolate for Valentine's Day.
Oops! I forgot to take pictures on these cups ... all gone!
Enjoy!

Congrats and 加油. You must give me private lesson on how to assemble. Mine collapse ... I want to cry liao!! :(
ReplyDeleteChris,
DeleteThanks! 我会加油的！
Strawberries on top are quite heavy that's the reason why its collapse. That's why need to line the cake with lady fingers or sponge cake.
Happy new age of the blog.This strawberry pie was great, decorated very nice.

Thank you Alice for dropping by. Hope to see you again :)
DeleteHi Ann, I would like to make this dessert, but not sure how to unmold it?
ReplyDeleteplease share tips how to unmold it, which is easy spring pan or ring?
Thank you for sharing.
Hi Soh,
DeleteYes, you must be very careful when you unmold this cake because the mousse is quite soft. I think is easier to use the cake ring with a aluminium foil wrap around the ring so the mousse will not flows out easily.
Happy blogaversary, Ann! Congrats and cheers to many more years. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Charlotte in this months YBR.
ReplyDeletehi Ann, thanks for sharing this. i followed your recipe and the cake is now sitting in the chiller. the mousse itself is so yummy, me and my daughter licked the bowls clean...hehehehe. can't wait to decorate it after 3 hours. hopefully all will turn out well because i am bringing to my cell group tonight. blessings.
