Strawberry-Elderflower “Charlotte”

I had some leftover strawberries from Friday’s market hunt that weren’t that pretty anymore to use in a fruit salad or something like it, but ther were very sweet and yummy so I needed a way of using them. Since I also had some mascarpone sitting in my fridge waiting for exhale and some leftover ladyfingers from the last time I made tiramisu I thought making some kind of Charlotte would not be too bad.

So this is what I came up with:

It’s as easy as can be:
Cut the strawberries into smallish pieces.
Whip up the mascarpone with 2 eggs and as much elderflower sysrup as you like, adding just a little at first and increasing until it pleases you.
Dip ladyfingers in coconut milk and line your dish with the dripping ladyfingers.
Spread first layer of mascarpone cream,top with strawberries, add ladyfingers again…
Repeat until your bowl is full or all your ingredients are used up!
Cover with cling film and put in the fridge at least overnight.

Serve cold with some whipped cream and cocoa on top. (optional)

I did not think it would turn out so delicious but all of my guests gobbled this dessert down in no time. So I guess it was to their liking! Even the little one had a huge piece and ate it all by himself!

I had a little left and took it with me to work today. We had it after lunch and my colleagues liked it too!
