Preparation of the cheesecloth Place the cheesecloth in a strainer, which is placed over a bowl. Cover everything with plastic wrap and place a weight (not too heavy) on top to help the liquid drain. Store in a cool place for at least 2 hours.
Preparation of whipped cream: Pour 300 ml of heavy cream into a well-chilled bowl. Place it in a sink filled with ice water and start whisking vigorously and continuously. When the traces of the whisk start to appear on the cream, add 30 g of powdered sugar gradually and continue whisking. The whipped cream is ready when, upon removing the whisk, the cream forms a small peak like a bird's beak.
Preparation of the strawberries: Cut about 300 g of washed and hulled strawberries into small cubes. Place in a bowl. Cut a few leaves of basil into fine strips and add to the strawberries. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and mix well.
Rest Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 or 3 hours.
Finishing the whipped cream Cut a vanilla pod lengthwise and remove the seeds with a knife. Add the vanilla seeds to the whipped cream and gently mix them into the cheese with a spatula.
Service You can present the dessert in several ways: 1/ using a cookie cutter, form a small dome. Arrange strawberries all around, along with a few raspberries on top and some roasted pistachio pieces. 2/ Place the strawberries at the bottom of a glass, add a few spoonfuls on top and sprinkle everything with toasted sliced almonds.
