Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups strawberries, halved Use the freshest strawberries for best flavor and texture.
  • 2 tablespoons gelatin
  • 1 cup sugar Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice For a zesty twist, orange juice can be used instead.

  • handful mint leaves, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly grease your mold with neutral oil.
  2. In a saucepan, heat half of the water with sugar and lemon juice until dissolved.
  3. Sprinkle gelatin over the remaining cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  4. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm mixture and whisk until fully dissolved.
  5. Allow the jelly to cool slightly, then stir in the strawberries.
  6. Pour the mixture into your prepared mold.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours until completely set.
  8. Run a thin knife around the edges and unmold gently onto a serving plate.
Serving
  1. Garnish with mint leaves and serve chilled.
  2. For an elegant touch, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  3. Pair it with a light summer salad or drizzle a berry coulis on top.

Notes

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. This pudding freezes well, tightly wrapped. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving. Serve immediately for the best presentation as the jelly can lose its shape if left out too long.
