hi everyone ! Welcome to "Les plaisirs sucrés d'Antoine" I hope you're fine

here they are ! Strawberries have shown up on stalls so I propose you today a reshaped "Charlotte aux fraise"

it is made of a base of ladyfinger

with a strawberry bavarian cream

all covered with a spider effect mirror glaze

a ladyfinger belt, some macarons, fresh sliced strawberries and fondant flowers as decoration

I pop on my apron and I guide you through the recipe

I start by making the ladyfinger with these ingredients

63 g of granulated sugar

88 g of egg whites

50 g of egg yolks

31 g of T45 flour

31 g of corn flour and 30 g of icing sugar

I whisk in a first time the egg yolks with 3/4 of the granulated sugar

I add 3/4 of granulated sugar and the rest will be to whisk the egg whites

and I whisk

when it gets whiter I whisk the egg white with the rest of sugar

I drop in my mixer

I put a pinch of sugar to start and I'll add the rest little by little

once it becomes thick I add it gently to the previous batter with my maryse

once it's combined I sieve the corn flour and flour over it

in the same gently way

once it's combined I pour it into a piping bag with a round piping tip

I pipe inside a 16 cm tart circle and I also pipe a ladyfinger belt all along the mat into 6 cm width

I start inside the circle into 1 cm thikness

and then I make the ladyfinger belt

I then dust with icing sugar 2 times

a first time

I let it sit and I'll dust again just before baking for 10 to 15 min at 180°C

so I let it sit for 2 mins, and I do it again

let's bake it !

after 10 to 15 min it's ready, I let it cool down until assembly

while the biscuit is cooling down I make the strawberry bavarian cream with these ingredients

225 g of fresh strawberries

I choose the gariguette type

135 g of granulated sugar

300 g of 30% cold heavy cream

300 g of milk

3 egg yolks

and 6 gelatin sheets that equals to 12 g

I first hydrate the gelatin into a cold amount of water

I make then a custard with sugar, egg yolks and milk

I drop the egg yolks, sugar and I whisk

once it got whiter I add the milk

I give it a whisk to combine

and I bake it at 82°C

once it's at 82°C I add the squeezed gelatin

when the gelatin is combined I drop the strawberries in a bowl

I pour the custard over the strawberries

and I blend it

when it's blended, I whisk the cold heavy cream to get a whipped cream

that I'll add to the strawberry custard when i'll reach 35 to 40°C

I pour the cold cream in my mixer

and I make a foamy whipped cream

my whipped cream is ready, I just wait for my custard to cool down

the custard is now at 40°C so I can add the whipped cream

if you like fruit lumps, you can add a 100 more grams of diced strawberries

when the bavarian cream is done, I leave it aside waiting for assembly

just before starting the assembly, I make a strawberry juice with these 2 ingredients

100 g of strawberries and 10 g of granulated sugar

I just mix together strawberries with sugar

when it's mixed, I pour it in a container

when all elements are done, I can start the assembly

I set the "UNIVERSO" mould by silikomart on my chopping board that I use to place in the freezer

If you do not have this mould, you can use an 18 cm entremet circle

I first pour the strawberry bavarian cream

don't forget the strawberry lumps

leave 1 cm from the top of the edges

once it's done I soak the ladyfinger disc with the strawberry juice

with a brush

on the surface generously because it's a strawberry charlotte

and I set the cake in the center

I press a little

I pop it into the freezer overnight

after a night in the freezer, it's time to decorate my strawberry charlotte

for that I made a red base glaze and a white coating

you can find the spider web effect mirror glaze tutorial on my channel, I put the link in description box

I also set the ladyfinger belt

2 strawberry macarons, 2 sliced strawberries and some fondant flowers

I just took out the frozen charlotte

the red glaze is at 37°C

the white coating is at 65°C

I first glaze with the red one and the swipe with the white coating

I let it run few seconds

when it stops running I cut the drops all around with a knife

it shows a nice spider effect as you can see

I then set the dessert on its serving plate

I can finish my decoration

I finish by surrounding the dessert with the ladyfinger belt

and placing flowers, macaron and sliced strawberries

I start by cutting the ladyfinger in 2 equal parts

and I surround the charlotte

I will not need the entire length

and I make sure the 2 edges fit one to another

I put a ribbon arround it

I can now put macarons

and I finish with some silver foil

there it is

my strawberry charlotte is now done

make the most of it

because we don't have strawberries all year long
