Step 1: Strawberry puree

1. 15 minutes before the start, prepare the gelatin. Soak 2.5 sheets of gelatin in cold water
2. In the saucepan, pour the strawberries cut into small cubes, 1 lime juice, 1/4 zest of lime and 50g of brown sugar
3. Heat over low heat until you get a compote
4. Mix with the plunging blender to smooth
5. Take 210g of still hot puree (reserve the remaining 125g for strawberry stew) and add the rehydrated gelatin, mix with the maryse to incorporate the gelatin
6. Mix again to smooth
7. Dispose in a bowl and reserve in the fridge (the puree must be dropped to 20 ° before being added to the whipped cream)

Step 2: Strawberry stew

1. Soak 1 sheet of gelatin, in cold water
2. In the saucepan, pour the 125g of strawberry puree that you had reserved during the previous preparation. Add 6g of starch, 15g of sugar and bring to a boil
3. Remove from heat and stir in the well-wrung leaf gelatin.
4. Mix, pour into a bowl and set aside in the fridge

Step 3: the spoon biscuit

1. Preheat oven to 200° rotating heat
2. With the whisk, mount the whites in the bowl of the robot and 100g of sugar in snow gradually until you get a foam consistency.
3. With a maryse, stir in the yolks and then the flour sifted in several times without dropping the biscuit
4. Poach the two circles starting from the center and forming a snail then sprinkle with icing sugar
5. Cook 8 minutes at 200 °, watch, the biscuit should brown but not too much
6. Then gently pass your knife under each cookie, from left to right, to peel them off the paper

Step 4: Strawberry whipped cream

1. Pour 170g of whole very cold liquid cream into the bowl of the robot.
2. Start whipping the cream at low speed and then increase the speed gradually
3. Stop whipping when the cream has a shaving foam consistency, we do not try to have a whipped cream too firm in which it would be difficult to incorporate the strawberry puree
4. When the puree mixture of strawberries and gelatin has dropped back to 20 °, pour it into a bowl, add 1/3 of the whipped cream and mix to homogenize the whole
5. Then pour this mixture into the rest of the whipped cream, and mix gently with the maryse, lifting the mass.
