Gently mix the whites to the yolks and combine with the remaining flour, mix.

Make the mousse. Beat in a blender and rub 300 g of strawberries through a sieve. Add 150 g of sugar. Soak the gelatin in a little water, give 10 minutes to swell. Then heat with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, stir and cool.

Put the charlotte on a plate, removing the rim from the mold. Fold it around the edge with your fingers and tie a ribbon for beauty and stability. Garnish the dessert with strawberries.
