 Preparation

 

For the dough

  1. Add the ingredients for the dough into a mixing bowl and mix with a hand mixer to a smooth dough.

  2. Grease baking forms. Then add 2 tablespoons of the dough into each mini-form and smooth.

  3. Place the baking tin on a rack in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes at 180°C using convection heat.

  4. When done, allow the cupcakes to cool and remove the from edge.

For the yogurt mixture

  1. Fill a small pot with cold water and soften the gelatin leaves in it.

  2. Wash and clean the strawberries and allow to dry, then put in a mixing bowl. Purée using a stick hand blender. Add the yogurt, sour cream and thickened Agave juice and mix well.

  3. Remove the gelatin from the water and press firmly. Throw away the remaining water. Add the gelatin to the pot. Put the pot on the stove and dissolve the gelatin at low heat until it is completely liquidized. Careful: Do no allow the gelatin to become too hot because it will not gel afterwards.

  4. Add the gelatin to the yogurt mixture, stirring constantly.

  5. Clean the form rims and put back around the little cakes.  Fill with the yogurt filling. Allow the cupcakes to chill for 1 hour.

For the fruit glaze

  1. Wash and clean the strawberries and allow to dry, then halve, reserving 12 for garnish. Put the remaining strawberries with the sugar in a mixing bowl and purée finely.

  2. Prepare gelatin as in steps 5 and 7 above.

  3. Add the liquid gelatin to the puréed strawberries and mix well. Carefully add the mixture on top of the yogurt mixture in the forms.

  4. Allow the mini cakes to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until the gelatin is firm.

To serve

  1. Remove the cakes from the refrigerator and then remove the form edges.

  2. Arrange the cakes on a cake platter and garnish with the strawberry pieces.

Tip: Pass the strawberries through a sieve after puréeing to make a clear glaze.
