STEP 1

Prepare the tin

Arrange the ladyfingers around the edge of a round springform tin (about 20 cm in diameter), with the sugared side facing outwards, and cut them as needed to create the base. Using a pastry brush, gently brush the ladyfingers (both the base and the sides) with the liquid, which should be even but light so they remain compact.

STEP 2

Prepare the cream and gelato

Leave the Sammontana Crema gelato to soften at room temperature for 5 minutes, until it is spreadable.

STEP 3

Assemble the Charlotte

For the first layer, spread about half of the softened Sammontana gelato inside the tin on top of the ladyfinger base, smoothing the surface. For the second layer, cover the gelato with a layer of red berries. Then create a third internal layer of whole or broken ladyfingers and lightly brush them with the soaking liquid. Finally, for the fourth layer, add the remaining half of the Sammontana gelato as the final filling layer. Work quickly to prevent the gelato from melting.

STEP 4

Decorate and serve

Place the Charlotte in the freezer for at least 4–5 hours (or ideally overnight), until completely firm. When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and take out of the tin. Add a few dollops of whipped cream and decorate with the remaining fresh red berries, and, if desired, fresh mint leaves or gold leaf for a touch of visual luxury.
