For my third participation to the Foodista challenge, a food challenge organised by Stéphanie from Cuisine moi un mouton, I am sharing with you a charlotte. But not any kind of charlotte. A charlotte with strawberry, kumquat and mascarpone.
If you want to know more about the foodista challenge, please check the French version of this post.
I love mascarpone and strawberry is my favorite fruit as you can see checking my strawberry tart and my strawberry salad.
Charlotte recipe with strawberry and Kumquat
Ingredients
Kumquat jam
- 200 gr sugar
- 250 gr kumquats
Charlotte
- 250 gr strawberry
- 400 gr cottage cheese
- 400 gr mascarpone
- 200 gr sugar
- 25 sponge finger biscuits
Instructions
Kumquat jam
- Bring some water to a boil in a little saucepan. Put kumquat for 5 minutes. Remove and slice in small pieces removing the seeds.
- Mix with sugar.
- Place in your refrigerator at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Cook for 40 minutes and reserve.
Charlotte
- Wash and cut strawberries. Reserve.
- Cut sponge biscuits so they have the same size of your pastry circle. Put your circle on a baking tray. Place biscuits all around and finish by filling the bottom of the circle with the rest of sponge biscuits.
- Mix cottage cheese with sugar and mascarpone. Pour half of this mix in the circle. Add strawberries and cover with cottage cheese mix.
- Finish your charlotte pouring kumquat coulis on top. Refrigerate two hours before serving.
- This charlotte is really delicious, however she makes some juice. So serve quickly.
