Preparation time 15 minutes

Cooking time 5 minutes

Refrigeration 2 hours

Yield 4 servings

- 1 pkg (7 g) unflavoured gelatin
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) water
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (500 mL) fresh strawberries
- 3 cups (750 mL) Canadian yogurt, vanilla flavoured

In a saucepan, combine gelatin with water; let stand 5 minutes. Heat over medium-low heat until gelatin dissolves; stir in sugar until fully dissolved. Let cool.
Cut 1 cup (250 mL) of strawberries into pieces. Reserve.
In a bowl, mash the rest of the strawberries; stir in gelatin and mix well. Refrigerate until firm, approximately 1 hour.
In a large bowl, mix the yogurt with ¼ cup (60 mL) of the strawberry mixture.
In 4 tall glasses, layer the yogurt, the remaining strawberry mixture and pieces of strawberries. Repeat layers. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour, or up to 1 day.
