Method

  1. Make the pâté à bombe according to the recipe instructions (see 'Goes well with'). Divide into 3 portions (you only need one portion for this recipe).
  2. Reserve 6 nice strawberries for decoration. Chop the rest into chunks of about 1-2cm and mix with the vinegar. Set aside for 20 mins. Spoon 1-2 tbsp into each of 6 glasses.
  3. Make the meringue according to the recipe instructions and mix in the rosewater with the pâté à bombe. Whisk the double cream until forming soft peaks, but do not over-whisk. Fold cream into the meringue mix followed by the remaining chopped strawberries.
  4. Pipe or spoon into glasses or a large serving bowl, decorate with the reserved strawberries and chill until required.

    It was only half way through that double cream was mentioned - without anything in the ingredients about quantity etc. which meant there was a fair degree of guesswork. Ours looked more yellow than the picture on site - but still tasted delicious. Lack of clear instructions and missing ingredients however gives this only a two star rating.
