4. In another bowl, whip the cream into whipped cream or beat the condensed milk until it becomes frothy.
5. In a saucepan, place the previously drained gelatin with a little lemon juice. Heat gently for a few minutes, then remove from heat and incorporate this mixture into the strawberry puree.
6. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the strawberry puree, then slowly incorporate the whipped cream or whipped condensed milk.
