To make strawberry Turkish delight we need:
- Frozen Strawberries - 200 gr
- Instant gelatin - 15 gr
- Lemon - 1/2 pcs.
- Powdered Sugar - 150 gr.
Cooking:
First, soak the gelatin so that it swells. To do this, fill it with 50 ml of water, mix well and give time to swell.
Squeeze juice out of half a lemon.
Defrost strawberries a bit, and then chop them in a blender so that the juice does not get lost when defrosting, you can defrost strawberries immediately in the blender bowl.
In a small saucepan or stewpan, mix the swollen gelatin, lemon juice, chopped strawberries and powdered sugar.
Mix thoroughly and put on a small fire. The mixture needs to be warmed up well until the gelatin is completely dissolved, but in no case should it boil.
Remove the resulting homogeneous mixture from the heat and beat well with a mixer for 5 minutes until it brightens and becomes thick.
Pour the finished fruit mass into a mold, smooth and put for freezing in a cool place for 5-6 hours (you can overnight). If you have parchment paper, you can line it with a shape. Remove the frozen ready-made strawberry Turkish delight and cut into small cubes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar so that they do not stick together.
Serve for tea or as a dessert.
