Ingredients
- 500 g strawberries, washed and hulled, plus extra, to serve
- 1 tbsp organic runny honey
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
- Zest and juice of 1 small lemon
- 300 ml double cream
- Elderflower cordial, to taste
- 4 crumbly gingernut biscuits, roughly chopped
Chilling time: 1 hour
Instructions
1. Cut half the strawberries into quarters, place in a bowl and use a fork to mash them together. Stir in the honey.
2. Roughly chop the remaining strawberries and gently fold through the strawberry mash with the pepper and lemon zest and juice to taste. Set aside to infuse while you prepare the cream.
3. Place the cream and elderflower cordial to taste into a clean bowl. Whisk vigorously just until firm peaks form, then spoon into a piping bag.
4. To assemble, spoon a layer of the strawberry mixture into the bottom of 4 serving glasses. Pipe a layer of cream over the top, working your way around the glass towards the centre. Repeat this layering process 3-4 times or until your glasses are full. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve.
To serve, sprinkle the roughly chopped biscuits over the top and garnish with a strawberry half.
