Charlotte Aux Fraises (Strawberry Charlotte) 草莓夏露蕾特
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 😉

- 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.

Happy new age of the blog.This strawberry pie was great, decorated very nice.
Happy 3rd Anniversary! And what a beautiful cake to fit the occasion…
congrats to your 3rd anniversary…:)
this strawberry shortcake looks marvelous…the pink color is so sweet and WOW! ^^
哇!我很喜欢这个蛋糕啊!看来情人节蛋糕我有idea了。
谢谢分享!
Hi Ann,
Can I use all 260g of whipping cream instead of fresh topping cream? Also, if don’t sift the yoghurt, is it ok?
Thanks alot!
Hi Mickey, Is not easy to whip the unsweetened whipping cream to sift peak. Using half and half of both cream will make them less sweet but you can use all fresh topping cream if you prefer.
Hi Ann, it’s a pretty cake. For the soaked gelatin, do I need to drain & obtain only the bloomed gelatin? Thanks for the advise 🙂
Hi Stephanie, The gelatin will absorbed the the water after soaked. No water left 🙂
Thanks Ann ?
Hey,Thanks for sharing
Awesome Cake ideas
looks like tasty..
Yummy! Thanks for sharing! Will try to do it! 😀
Hi Anne, I'm not sure if my comment went through earlier, but just want to thank you for this lovely recipe. My friends were impressed and they thought the cake was too pretty to cut. Just wonder if I have leftovers, how long can I store them in the fridge if I have made it a day before serving?
Hi, Glad to hear that your friends enjoyed this cake. The cake can be stored in a tupperware for 3-4 days in the fridge.
Hi Ann,
I'm really impressed by your efficiency and prompt reply. Thank you. May I ask you another question? Is it okay if I prepare this cake one day in advance? Will the lady fingers turn soggy?Lynn
Hi , Not likely because the mousse already chilled to set before you lay the lady fingers around the cake.
Thank you in advance. Lynn
Hi, this cake looks so beautiful. May I ask if you use 330g fresh strawberry mixed with 100ml water to get the puree? It was stated 330 fresh strawberry puree? I would love to try out this cake. Is it hard to transfer the cake to a cakeboard? Thank you! Lynn
Hi Lynn, yes is 330g strawberries with 100ml water, blend to puree.
Thanks for your great advice. Have a nice day!
Hi Ann, how do I store leftover dairy whipping cream? Most of the info. storage from the packaging box says to finish within 3 days after opening.
Hi Selbsy, I usually wrapped the remaining box of whipping cream with a plastic bag and tightened with a rubber band. Can keep for a week or slightly more.
I also thinks that strawberry is sweet and juicy. And your cake is also sweet and juicy like strawberry. This is simply delicious cake..:)

hi 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.
WOW! Phoebeluv… thank you for trying this recipe. Hope your cell group enjoy this cake too. 🙂
Happy blogaversary, Ann! Congrats and cheers to many more years. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Charlotte in this months YBR.
Hi Ann, I would like to make this dessert, but not sure how to unmold it?
please share tips how to unmold it, which is easy spring pan or ring?
Thank you for sharing.
Hi Soh,
Yes, 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.
hi Ann, this is really pretty dessert 🙂
happy 3rd blog anniversary, so glad i found your blog 🙂
Thank you Alice for dropping by. Hope to see you again 🙂
A beautiful dessert that should be made at least once every year, especially when berries are in season! The photos are superb!
Thanks for sharing all the yummy & wonderful recipes.
This is simply awesome,Ann. Can't get my eyes off those pictures>
Congrats to yr blog 3rd anniversary and keep up the good work.
