INGREDIENTS

150ml water
150g sugar
1 lime
3 gelatin leaves
20 ladyfingers
500g strawberries
300ml whipping cream (30%)

PREPARATION

Heat the water and 75g of sugar with the lemon zest and juice. Then leave to cool.
Soften the gelatine sheets in cold water.
Dip the biscuits with a spoon into the cooled syrup for 2 seconds. Then arrange them on the edge of a cake ring.
Hull the strawberries and set aside about ten. Blend the rest to obtain a puree. Sift the mixture to remove the seeds.
Heat 1/3 of the strawberry puree with the remaining sugar. When it boils, remove the pan from the heat before adding the drained gelatine. Mix.
Add the contents of the pan to the remaining strawberry puree. Leave to cool.
In the meantime, whip the cream. Cut the leftover strawberries into slices.
In a bowl, whisk the strawberry puree with the whipped cream.
Fill the cake ring halfway with the cream. Arrange a layer of strawberry slices, keeping a few for decoration.
Add the rest of the cream, smooth it out, and set aside in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Decorate the cake with the remaining strawberry slices before serving.

SUMMER RECIPE IDEA

There's nothing like getting together for a good meal. You've already found the rest of the menu, but you don't have any ideas for dessert? Why not end the meal on a light and delicious note? There's nothing like a fruity dessert like strawberry charlotte.

This easy strawberry charlotte recipe is perfect to finish off a hearty meal. It is made with a smooth, airy strawberry cream. Slices of strawberries are hidden inside the cake, adding a slightly tart touch and further enhancing the fruitiness.

To accompany this dessert with its fruity notes, a fresh and lively wine with a frank attack is appropriate. A rosé wine will be perfect in this case. Choose a Côtes de Gascogne rosé with red fruit aromas and a good balance between freshness and acidity.

vignes Côtes de Gascogne

THE GOURMET EXUBERANCE OF A CÔTES DE GASCOGNE

To underline the fruity flavours of the strawberry charlotte, our tasting panel experts suggest a Côtes de Gascogne rosé. The Côtes de Gascogne IGP is produced from vines planted in the historic Armagnac area of southwestern France. Producing mainly white wines, this IGP also offers red and rosé wines made from different grape varieties such as Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Tannat. Other grape varieties can also be used, such as Syrah. To enhance the flavours of a strawberry charlotte, Vinatis proposes a wine with a fruity side that goes perfectly with red fruits.

Our suggestion:

N°6 - Rosé 2023 - Domaine Uby

Fresh and aromatic, this wine from the South-West of France is perfect for highlighting the fruity flavours of this strawberry charlotte recipe. This wine has a salmon red colour. Notes of red berries marked by aromas of strawberries and raspberries dominate the nose, reminiscent of the strawberries in this dessert. After a frank and balanced attachment, the palate is rich and ends with a tangy finish. This fresh wine brings a certain liveliness and lightness that goes very well with the smooth cream of this cake.

This Côtes de Gascogne Édition Spéciale Rosé from Domaine Uby is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah. The Cabernet Sauvignon gives both freshness and acidity. Cabernet Franc also brings freshness and has an aromatic palette marked by fresh red fruits. As for Merlot, this variety gives roundness and reveals aromas of red fruits. Syrah is also appreciated for the structure and freshness it brings.
