90 Sugar
25 Cornstarch
2 Fresh cream
5 Mint
For the garnish
500 Strawberry
For the decoration
5 Strawberry
Powdered sugar
8 Mint
Directions
1
Making the cream: bring the milk to a boil with the mint leaves. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and cornstarch. Pour into the milk and let cook on low heat for 5 minutes, then add the cream off the heat and let cool.
2
While the cream cools, wash the strawberries and cut them in half.

Assembling the dessert: line the mold with the cookies, cover the cookies with one third of the cream, then add half of the strawberries, pour one third of the cream, then top with the remaining strawberries, finish with the cream and cover with cookies. Cover with plastic wrap, place a plate on top with a weight, and put the dessert in the refrigerator. Let it rest for at least 2 hours before serving.

To finish the assembly of the charlotte: dip the mold in a small bath of lukewarm water to facilitate unmolding, place the serving dish upside down on the mold and turn it over to release the charlotte. Dust with powdered sugar, and decorate with the remaining strawberries and mint leaves.

strawberry and mint charlotte recipe Excellent pairing between mint and strawberry. For those who say that the cream is too runny, perhaps they didn't cook it long enough because I had no issues at all. -

Strawberry Charlotte The cream is really good but too runny for this recipe. My suggestion: Maybe the cream would hold better with gelatin... -

Strawberry and mint charlotte I agree with Mr. Mustapha, the cream is too runny, and the cake collapses upon unmolding, what a shame... -

Disappointing recipe for my first charlotte. The proportions are not right (too many strawberries and not enough cream), the cream doesn’t hold at all (it collapsed when unmolding) and doesn't have the typical flavor of a charlotte's cream: it lacks that characteristic taste of fresh cheese. It's strange to use cornstarch instead of gelatin or agar-agar for thickening. It's also surprising not to alternate layers of biscuits, cream, and strawberries, but only strawberries and cream... the idea of boiling the mint leaves with the cream is good, as you can really taste the mint in the cream... but overall, this recipe is disappointing. -

Very good cake, nice combination of strawberry and mint. I added 4 sheets of gelatin and it’s perfect.
