1. Puree strawberries with sugar and lemon juice until smooth; strain if desired for a silky texture. 2. If using gelatin, sprinkle over 2 tbsp (30 ml) cold water, let bloom 5 minutes, then gently warm until dissolved and stir into a few tablespoons of warm puree before blending back into the rest. 3. Whip the whipping cream to soft peaks. 4. Fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the strawberry puree to lighten, then gently fold in the remaining cream until uniform. 5. Spoon into serving glasses and chill at least 2 hours until set. Garnish with a strawberry or lemon zest before serving.
