- Now mix the melted gelatin in the yoghurt – milk mixture. Fold the strawberry puree into the mixture lightly.
- Pour the mixture into 6 chilled glasses and let it set in the refrigerator for 20mins.
- Meanwhile, remove the cream from the Oreo biscuits and crush them finely.
- Whip the chilled whipping cream with the cream from the biscuits and sugar till soft peaks have formed. One may choose to add sugar as per individual taste.
- Now fold the crushed Oreo biscuits in the whipped cream with light hands.
- Pipe the Oreo flavoured whipped cream on top of strawberry pannacotta which would be set in the glasses by now. Chill in the refrigerator for another 15 mins.
- Meanwhile, chop the remaining strawberries and slice a couple into halves.
- Spread chopped strawberries on top of the dessert and garnish with halved strawberries. Chill for some time and serve cold.
