Set aside to cool to room temperature.

- 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.
