Ingredients
- 400g strawberries, hulled
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 300ml double cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 80g ready-made meringues, lightly crushed
- Small handful fresh mint leaves
Method
Roughly chop half the strawberries and mash them with the icing sugar to make a loose sauce.
Quarter the remaining strawberries.
Whip the cream with the vanilla until it holds soft peaks.
Fold the crushed meringues through the cream, keeping some larger pieces for texture.
Ripple through the strawberry sauce and fresh strawberries without fully mixing.
Spoon into bowls or glasses and finish with mint leaves.
Serve straight away so the meringue stays crisp in places.
