Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 20 min.
Strawberries with mint and cream
Prepare 125 ml Confectioner's custard (Crème pâtissière, or French pastry cream), but leave ½ handful fresh mint leaves in the hot milk to infuse for 15 minutes.

Stage 2 - 25 min.
Strawberries with mint and cream
Then proceed as usual for confectioner's custard (French pastry cream).

You can add 2 drops food colouring (green) when cold.

Stage 3 - 15 min.
Strawberries with mint and cream
Wash 184 ml strawberries, add 1 tablespoon Vanilla sugar, juice of ¼ lemon and mix well.

Stage 4 - 10 min.
Strawberries with mint and cream
Prepare 125 ml Chantilly cream.

Stage 5 - 5 min.
Strawberries with mint and cream
Start to assemble dessert: in a glass put a layer of mint custard about 0.5 inch thick.

Stage 6 - 5 min.
Strawberries with mint and cream
Add a layer of strawberries, at least twice as deep.

Stage 7 - 5 min.
Strawberries with mint and cream
Finish with a layer of whipped cream.

Stage 8 - 5 min.
Strawberries with mint and cream
Decorate with mint leaves and a small biscuit or cookie.

Serve without delay.

If you finish early, leave in the fridge, but for not more than half an hour.
Remarks
You can lighten the custard a little by gently folding into it ¼ of the whipped cream.

If you want to prepare in advance, make confectioner's custard the day before, but cut strawberries and whip cream at the last minute.

Tip for better keeping: the whipped cream layer should completely cover stramberries to protect from air and prevent oxydation.
Keeping
Several hours in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.
