Ingredients
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, cook strawberries and lemon juice over medium heat until all berries are softened and cooked through. Add honey and blend well using an immersion blender.
- In a small bowl, bloom gelatin by adding it to ½ cup of water and quickly whisking it. Set aside.
- Strain the strawberry puree through a sieve to catch all the seeds. Return strained puree back to pot and bring to a gentle simmer on low heat. Add bloomed gelatin and stir well to combine. Take off heat.
- Divide roughly ⅔ of the strawberry gelatin mixture between 4 cups, reserving the remaining (⅓) mixture for the other layers. Transfer the cups to the refrigerator to begin setting.
- Transfer half of the remaining ⅓ of the strawberry mixture into a small bowl. Add yogurt and combine well (this will be the middle layer). Spoon prepared yogurt gelatin mixture evenly into cups on top of the strawberry layer. Transfer back to the refrigerator.
- Pour the remaining strawberry gelatin mixture on top of the yogurt mixture creating three distinct layers. Transfer the cups to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set well.
Notes
- If using frozen strawberries, allow more cooking time to reduce water content.
- To sub sugar for honey, use ½ cup of sugar in place of ¼ cup of honey.
- If the reserved strawberry puree sets before finishing the layers, gently re-heat in the small saucepan on medium-low heat.
