SCD Recipe: Strawberries and Cream Gelatin

When I was growing up my great-aunt used to also make a strawberry and cream cheese dessert for me on special occasions. I never got the recipe from her, but I figured I could kind of recreate it using strained SCD yogurt.

This turned out very good. Her dessert had fresh strawberries mixed in, which you could easily do. I decided to slice them on top because I wanted to keep them crisp.

Ingredients:

2 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup sliced peaches
1 1/2 cups SCD yogurt that has been strained at least 24 hours (should be thick like cream cheese)
3 packets (.25 oz) unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup honey
1 cup apple juice (or apple cider, depending on what you can find for SCD)
Fresh strawberries (or any fruit you like) for garnish

Preparation:

If using frozen fruit thaw it in a medium saucepan over medium heat
Sprinkle gelatin over one up of cold apple juice and allow it to sit until gelatin is completely absorbed and it becomes kind of a blob
Heat fruit over medium heat until it softens and breaks down
Add honey
Use an immersion blender to puree it (pour into a blender if you don’t have an immersion blender)
If desired pour the fruit through a mesh strainer to get rid of the strawberry seeds
Put back in pan over medium heat
Stir in gelatin mixture until it is disolved
Remove from heat
Pour half the mixture into loaf pan (or you can use a jello mold if desired)
Refrigerate for about an hour, until it solidifies a little
In the meantime, mix your yogurt in with the remaining fruit puree
Leave at room temperature while you wait for other other layer to be ready
After an hour pour the yogurt mixture over the fruit gelatin and return to refrigerator
Allow to set for several hours before serving
Serve with fresh strawberries
