Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh strawberries (hulled and divided)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 14 grams Unflavored gelatin
- 60 milliliters Cold water
- 240 milliliters Heavy whipping cream (chilled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- Strawberries (optional, for garnish)
- Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Hull and rinse the strawberries. Reserve a few whole strawberries for garnish if desired, and puree the remaining strawberries until smooth using a blender or food processor.
In a small saucepan, combine the strawberry puree, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. Heat the bloomed gelatin gently in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or until dissolved, making sure not to let it boil.
Stir the dissolved gelatin into the slightly cooled strawberry puree, ensuring it is fully incorporated. Set the mixture aside to cool further to room temperature.
In a large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract together until it holds stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the cooled strawberry mixture into the whipped cream in batches, ensuring it is evenly combined without deflating the cream.
Pour the mixture into a large serving bowl or divide it evenly into individual serving glasses or molds. Smooth the tops if using a bowl or molds.
Refrigerate the Bavarian Jello for at least 4–6 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, garnish with the reserved strawberries and mint leaves, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
