Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the strawberries: rinse them thoroughly under cold running water. Slice about half of them and arrange them neatly on a large plate, ensuring that they are placed next to each other. Sprinkle the sliced strawberries with 20g of sugar, and set them aside to macerate. Allow them to rest for a while so they can release their natural juices.

2. Take the remaining strawberries and place them in a blender, adding 30g of sugar. Blend the mixture until smooth. Once pureed, pass the mixture through a fine sieve or mesh strainer using a spatula to remove any seeds. Set the strained strawberry mixture aside.

3. In a medium-sized saucepan, pour in the fresh cream along with the 130g of sugar. Stir the mixture with a whisk to combine the ingredients well. Place the saucepan over medium heat and gently bring the mixture to a simmer. Make sure to stir constantly to prevent the cream from burning. Once it begins to heat up, sprinkle in the agar-agar powder, stirring continuously to ensure that it dissolves completely. Let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes to activate the agar-agar.

4. Once the cream mixture is ready, remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour the hot cream into individual serving glasses or molds, filling them about three-quarters full.

5. Place the filled glasses in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 3-4 hours, or until the panna cotta has set firmly.

6. Once the panna cotta is fully chilled and set, carefully run a smooth knife around the edges of each glass to loosen the panna cotta. This will help release it when serving.

7. For the finishing touch, garnish each panna cotta with a whole strawberry and a sprig of fresh mint. The vibrant strawberry topping will not only add a pop of color but also enhance the dessert’s flavor.

8. Serve and enjoy this refreshing, creamy dessert that combines the delicate richness of panna cotta with the fresh and tangy sweetness of strawberries.
