Equipment
- 6-7 Whiskey Glasses
Ingredients
- 4½ Cups Strawberries *see Notes
- 1 Cup Mascarpone
- 2 Cups Yogurt
- ½ Cup Sugar *see Notes
- 1 Cup Liqueur or Syrup *see Notes
- 32 piece Ladyfingers
Instructions
- Wash your strawberries well and create the two batches as described in the recipe notes below. Mash the first batch of strawberries to a smooth consistency. Cut the second batch of strawberries into halves or quarters and keep it aside.4½ Cups Strawberries
- In a bowl, mix the mascarpone, yogurt, strawberry mash, and sugar.1 Cup Mascarpone, 2 Cups Yogurt, ½ Cup Sugar
- Break all the ladyfinger cookies into two. Pour the liqueur OR syrup into a large bowl or soup plate and dip the ladyfingers halves into it so that they soak up the liqueur or syrup.32 piece Ladyfingers, 1 Cup Liqueur or Syrup
- Keep your whiskey glass ready and place the soaked ladyfinger halves into the glass. Per glass, I used 5 halves, with 4 at the corners and one at the bottom.
- Spoon in some of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers cookies into the glass jar to create a layer.
- Add the cut strawberry over the mascarpone layer.
- Fill up with another layer of mascarpone mixture and finish by decorating with another strawberry layer on top. I use about 2 ½ cut strawberries per glass.
- Keep the individual charlottes in the fridge to cool.
- Serve cooled as a dessert and decorate with a mint leave you like.
Notes
- The total amount of 22.9 ounces/ 650 grams of strawberries is separated into two batches. Batch #1 = 8.8 ounces/250 grams of strawberries that are turned into a mash. Batch #2 = 14.1 ounces/400 grams/~20 strawberries that are cut into halves or quarters and used in-between layers and as a decoration for the charlottes.
- The sugar will need to be adjusted if you intend to prepare non-alcoholic charlottes made with syrup. Taste test.
- Prepare boozy charlotte with fruit or nut liqueurs of your choice OR kid friendly non-alcoholic charlotte with fruit or nut syrups.
