Ingredients:
- For the Strawberry Layer:
- 1 kg of strawberries
- 3 packets of strawberry-flavored gelatin
- 800 ml of water
- For the Yogurt Layer:
- 2 packets of lemon-flavored gelatin
- 500 ml of water
- 300 g of natural yogurt
- Start by preparing the strawberry layer. Dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 800 ml of hot water, stirring thoroughly. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Clean and hull the strawberries, then cut them in half. Arrange a third of the strawberries in the bottom of a 22 cm round bundt pan. Pour a third of the cooled strawberry gelatin over the strawberries. Refrigerate until set.
- Repeat the layering process with the remaining strawberries and gelatin, allowing each layer to set in the fridge before adding the next.
- For the yogurt layer, dissolve the lemon gelatin in 500 ml of hot water and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, stir in the cold yogurt until well mixed.
- Carefully pour the yogurt mixture over the set strawberry gelatin layers. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the yogurt layer to set completely.
- To unmold the dessert, carefully dip the form in hot water for no more than a minute, then invert onto a serving plate. Repeat if necessary to release the dessert.
