Preparation
- Step 1
Place the buttermilk in a large saucepan. Heat gently for about five minutes, to a temperature of around 110 degrees. The buttermilk will feel fairly warm to the touch. You can test the temperature with an instant-read thermometer. You should see the buttermilk beginning to coagulate and a whitish liquid collecting around the edges. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Step 2
Line a colander with several thicknesses of cheesecloth. Place the colander over a bowl. Ladle the buttermilk from the saucepan into the colander. Allow it to drain overnight. this is the fromage blanc or fresh white cheese.
- Step 3
Transfer the fromage blanc from the colander to a bowl. If it has become very firm, beat in a little milk. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Step 4
Rinse and hull the strawberries. Puree half of them and sweeten to taste.
- Step 5
Serve scoops of the fromage blanc on plates with the pureed strawberries and whole strawberries.
