How to make it 👨‍🍳

1

Hull (remove the green stalks from) the Fresh strawberries and slice them in half. Set a small handful aside for topping.

2

Roughly crush the remaining strawberries in a bowl with a fork — you want some pieces and some pulpy bits for texture.

3

Whip the Double cream with the Icing sugar and Vanilla extract to soft peaks — the cream should hold its shape but fold gently when the bowl is tilted.

4

Break the Ready made meringue nests into rough, uneven pieces of varying sizes.

5

Fold the crushed strawberries and meringue pieces through the whipped cream — do not overwork it. You want swirls, not a uniform mix.

6

Divide into glasses or bowls. Top with the reserved strawberry halves and serve immediately — the meringue softens quickly once it meets the cream.
