Moms are priceless...


We are preparing these silky buttermilk creams to spoil our moms this Mother's Day.

Ingredients
1 1/4 cup unflavoured gelatin
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
450g strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Directions
1.  In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 3 tablespoons cold water.  Let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.  Heat over low heat, stirring until gelatin has dissolved, about 30 seconds.
2.  In a large bowl, whisk 1/4 cup sugar with buttermilk until dissolved.  Whisking constantly, add gelatin mixture in a very thin stream.  In another large bowl, beat cream and 1/4 cup sugar until soft peaks form.
3.  With a rubber spatula, gently stir half of whipped cream into buttermilk mixture; fold in remaining whipped cream.  Divide among eight ramekins.  Refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours (or up to 1 day, covered with plastic wrap).
4.  When ready to serve, toss strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water.  Let stand until juicy, about 5 minutes.  Run a paring knife around edge of each ramekin and dip each briefly in steaming hot water; invert buttermilk creams onto serving plates and top with strawberries.
