How to Make Caramelised Strawberries On A Bed Of Cottage Cheese And Mint

  1. Clean 1 pint of strawberries and halve any that are larger than 1 inch.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring 100ml of water and 50g of granulated sugar to a boil. Add the strawberries.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the strawberries are softened and have released their juices and a light syrup forms. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. In a bowl, gently combine 200g of cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint, and 100g of quark (optional, adds creaminess).
  5. Divide the cottage cheese mixture evenly among 4 small dessert plates or bowls.
  6. Carefully remove the caramelized strawberries from the syrup (reserve the syrup for drizzling, if desired) and arrange them on top of the cottage cheese mixture.
  7. Garnish with the remaining chopped mint and a drizzle of the reserved syrup (optional).
