Ingredients

500g Strawberries
2 tbsp Icing sugar
Double cream
6 Meringues

Method

1Put 150g of the strawberries into a blender or food processor with 1⁄2 tablespoon of the icing sugar. Pulse to form a smooth purée. Halve or quarter the remaining strawberries into bite-size pieces.
2Whip the double cream and remaining 11⁄2 tablespoon of icing sugar together until soft peaks form when you remove the whisk (they should almost hold their shape).
3To assemble, crumble the meringues and add to the cream along with all the berries. Fold in lightly, then very briefly stir in the strawberry purée to make swirls in the cream (as you spoon the mess into bowls it will ripple more). Dividebetween 6 bowls or glasses, crush the final meringue over the top and eat immediately.
