Ingredients

• 1 punnet strawberries
• half cup cream
• 2 teaspoons caster sugar
• optional; a dash of vanilla, sherry or marsala
• 4 heaped teaspoons soft dark brown sugar

Method

Hull and slice the strawberries. Whisk the cream and sugar until fairly firm and combine with the berries, adding a flavouring if you wish.

Pile into 2-3 small ramekins and spread the dark brown sugar evenly over the top of each. Place under a hot grill for a few minutes until the sugar melts, but doesn’t burn. Serve immediately.
