Preparation Method

Step 1: Prepare the Berry Mixture

  1. In a saucepan, combine the frozen strawberries, raspberries, white sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the jelly packet, followed by the dissolved gelatin, mixing continuously until fully incorporated.
  3. Reduce the heat, add 2 packets of vanilla and the dissolved cornstarch, and stir until the mixture thickens.

  2. Add the cream cheese to the whipped cream and mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Charlotte Cake

  1. Line the base and sides of a springform cake pan with ladyfinger biscuits, ensuring there are no gaps. Lightly soak the biscuits with strawberry juice.
  2. Combine half of the berry mixture with the cream filling and mix well. Pour half of this mixture over the biscuits in the pan.
  3. Add another layer of biscuits on top of the cream layer and drizzle lightly with strawberry juice.
  4. Pour the remaining cream mixture over the biscuits, then top it with a final layer of biscuits.
  5. Lightly soak the top biscuit layer with strawberry juice and spread the remaining berry mixture over the top to create a smooth, glossy finish.
