Ingredients

Servings: 8
  • 50 g Butter
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 125 g Flour
  • 3 Eggs (size M)
  • 100 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa content)
  • 40 g flaked almonds
  • 6 sheets Gelatine
  • 500 g Strawberries
  • 400 g Rama Cremefine to whip
  • 2 packages Vanillin sugar
  • baking paper
  • 1 small freezer bag

Directions

  1. 1

    Bring 1/8 litre water, butter and salt to the boil. Add the flour at once and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture separates from the bottom of the pot as a lump. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven (electric cooker: 225 °C/ circulating air: not suitable/ gas: level 4). Fill a heat-resistant mould with hot water and place it on a grid on the lower rail in the oven. Stir the eggs one by one with a wooden spoon into the choux pastry. Pour the mixture into a piping bag with a large star-shaped spout.

    Spray a wreath (approx. 20 cm Ø) onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. In the meantime, break the chocolate into pieces and melt it on a warm water bath. Roast the flaked almonds in a pan without fat until golden brown, remove. Take the finished wreath out of the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes and cut it open horizontally with a saw knife. Spread half of the chocolate on the bottom and sprinkle with flaked almonds. Pour the rest of the chocolate into a freezer bag. Cut off a small corner, sprinkle strips on the upper base and let it dry. In the meantime soak the gelatine. Wash the strawberries and put 100 g aside for decoration. Clean the rest of the strawberries. Puree 100 g strawberries (if the strawberries are not sweet enough, add sugar). Squeeze out the gelatine, dissolve it and stir into the strawberry puree drop by drop.
