The preparation of Fresh Strawberry Délice is done in several simple steps:
Start by separating the egg yolks from the whites. Divide the amount of sugar between the whites and the yolks, and add vanilla to the yolks.
Beat the egg whites until stiff.
Add lukewarm water to the yolks and mix well.
In another bowl, sift the flour and yeast, then add them to the egg yolks, mixing gently.
Incorporate the beaten egg whites into the preparation, in several stages, taking care not to overmix to maintain the lightness of the dough.
Pour the dough into a mold previously lined with baking paper and bake in the oven until it is golden brown.
Once the biscuit is cooked, cover it with a damp cloth and let it cool. Once cooled, carefully unmold it.
Soak the biscuit with muselin cream.
Cut the strawberries into thin slices and arrange them harmoniously on the cream.
Place the treat in the freezer to set. Once well set, spread cream on top, add almond slices and seasonal fruits according to your preference.
Decorating is optional, so let your creativity flow.
Tips and Tricks
For an even softer cookie, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the flour.
Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature for the best texture.
If you don’t have muselin cream, you can replace it with homemade whipped cream.
For an exotic twist, add lime zest to the cream.
