How to Make Strawberry Ring

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup demerara sugar until light and fluffy.
Add 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup chopped walnuts. Mix until a crumble forms.
Press the crumble mixture into the bottom of a 2 1/2-pint shallow baking tin.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool completely, then crumble into a bowl.
In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin over ¼ cup cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sliced strawberries, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and ¼ cup sugar. Mash well.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
Pour a small amount of the strawberry mixture into the bottom of a 2 1/2-pint ring mold to coat. Refrigerate until set (about 30 minutes).
In a separate bowl, whip 2 cups heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in 1 cup sliced strawberries.
Once the jelly in the ring mold is almost set, gently fold the remaining strawberry mixture and whipped cream into it.
Layer the strawberry mixture and the crumble in the ring mold, alternating layers starting with strawberry and ending with crumble.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
To unmold, run a thin knife around the edge of the ring. Invert onto a serving platter.
Pipe whipped cream around the base of the ring and garnish with fresh strawberry slices.
