Method of preparation
Remove the berries from the freezer, wash them, and remove the stems, if any. Then let them sit for 20 minutes to completely defrost.
Pour boiling water over the berries and blend until you have a strawberry puree. Soak the gelatin in the water for 10 minutes, then dissolve it in a double boiler. Add the strawberry puree to the gelatin and mix thoroughly. Prepared molds or glasses are perfect for pouring the mixture.
Dessert with whole strawberries

- Strawberries – 500g;
- Granulated sugar – 200g;
- Edible gelatin – 40g, sheet – 9 pcs.;
- Water – 1l.
Soak the gelatin in a glass of water for about 20 minutes. Wash the strawberries thoroughly and bring to a boil, but do not boil. Then add the sugar and wait until it dissolves.
After the syrup has swelled, stir the gelatin into the syrup and pour the liquid into molds or other ramekins. Before doing this, arrange some deflated or fresh strawberries in the bottom of the containers.
Frozen compote
Everyone probably loves a glass of chilled compote made from aromatic strawberries. This method of preparing the dessert is also popular.
