This is a straight forward dessert which is ideal for Yom Tov – family friendly and can easily be doubled for a large crowd and moreover captures the flavours of Rosh Hashanah. It has a very light and fluffy consistency and is perfect to complete a heavy meal.

Inside you can alternatively add pomegranate seeds instead of strawberries if preferred. The recipe requires you to use kosher gelatine, which you can find at your local Kosher delicatessen. It is a parev powder that comes in individual sachets. Kosher gelatine is made from fish bones, with no added colour or preservatives.

When using gelatine always weigh up the gelatine accurately. Too much gelatine and the food will be rubbery and too little and it may fail to set the food.
Soak the gelatine in a measured amount of liquid (never the other way round) so that it can start to ‘sponge’ or dissolve. Warm the gelatine and liquid gently in a saucepan but do not allow it to boil or it will go stringy and unusable.

Follow these little chef guidelines and you will have no difficulty in making this dessert!
