How to prepare strawberry dessert for the holidays

Prepare this delicious dessert, let your imagination run wild and decorate it as you want:

Ingredients

To prepare this delicious strawberry dessert, you will need the following ingredients:

• 2 packets of vanilla cookies of your choice
• 500 grams of fresh strawberries
• 2 sachets of unflavored gelatin (20 grams total)
• 1 liter of condensed milk
• 1 liter of heavy cream
• 180 grams of Philadelphia cheese

Step-by-step procedure

Step 1: Prepare the strawberries

• Wash the strawberries well and cut them into thin slices. Reserve some whole strawberries for the final dessert decoration.

Step 2: Dissolve the gelatin

• In a bowl, dissolve the two sachets of unflavored gelatin with 1/2 cup of warm water. Mix well until there are no lumps and the gelatin is completely dissolved. Let it rest.

Step 3: Mix the ingredients

• In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, condensed milk and until well combined.
• Add the 180 grams of Philadelphia cheese to the mixture and continue beating until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream.
• Next, add the dissolved gelatin, mixing well so that it is evenly distributed.

Step 4: Assemble the dessert

• Take a large mold (you can use a rectangular or glass mold for desserts). Place a layer of vanilla cookies on the base of the mold.
• Pour a layer of the cream mixture over the cookies.
• Place a layer of cut strawberries on top of the cream, distributing them evenly.
• Repeat the process: place another layer of cookies, a layer of cream, and then another layer of strawberries. Continue until you fill the mold, making sure the last layer is cream.

Step 5: Refrigerate and Decorate

• Place dessert in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
• Before serving, decorate the surface of the dessert with the whole strawberries you reserved, and if desired, add some crushed cookies for a crunchy touch.

And that’s it! You will have an exquisite strawberry dessert, ideal to surprise your guests at parties. Not only is this dessert delicious, but it’s also very simple to make, perfect for when time is limited.

Councils

Here are four useful tips for preparing this exquisite strawberry dessert:

1. Use fresh, ripe strawberries

Choose strawberries that are ripe and juicy to bring a sweeter, fresher flavor to the dessert. Avoid strawberries that are too green or soft.

2. Refrigerate dessert well

It’s essential to refrigerate dessert for at least 3 hours, but if you can leave it overnight, all the better. This will help the layers sit well and the texture is firmer and creamier.

3. Lightly soak the cookies

If you prefer a softer texture, you can lightly dip the vanilla cookies in milk or strawberry juice before placing them in the mold, so that they absorb more flavor and integrate better.

4. Beat the cream cheese well

To avoid lumps in the cream mixture, make sure to whisk the Philadelphia cheese well before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will give a smoother, more even texture to the dessert.
