how was it farfallina...it is making me drool 

I just have gelatine powder so I looked up what the equivalent was and there is a mixed opinion depending on the "strength" of the leaves.

one rough guess was "...3 teaspoons of powdered gelatine (8g/1 sachet) is roughly equivalent to four gelatine leaves..."

I can not for the life of me find gelatin leaves here ... Am I an orphan or just looking in the wrong places ??

I just googled that question Kathryn and apparently you are not the only one having trouble finding them in Perth.  Didn't come up with any answer that will help you unfortunately.  Good luck in your search.

Yes JD, it was very delicious! 

Well.. I never had this problem girls
I can find gelatin as leaves or powder form anywhere around here
So I had never searched before

I searched a bit on internet
It says : 6 sheets of gelatin is the equivalent of 3 teaspoons of powdered gelatin or a 10g packet

If so, 5-6gram would be enough I suppose

If you want to use frozen strawberries you may need to add some more gelatin

I'm like you Kathryn. I would love to try the leaves as they look fun to use. The different strengths of the leaves worries me a bit, if I ever find any.

The photo looks ok to me    Thanks, great recipe.  Sounds really delicious and reminds me of an old favourite recipe that used condensed milk.
