Preparation
Step 1
Step 1
Quarter the strawberries, then cut in half again, to give pretty small dice. Put into a bowl, sprinkle with superfine sugar, cover with clingfilm and shake the bowl once or twice.
Step 2
Leave the berries to macerate while you put the cookies into a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin, until you have a sandy bag of crumbs.
Step 3
Measure the cream cheese and icing sugar into a bowl and whisk by hand. Add the cream, lemon juice and vanilla, and whisk gently to combine.
Step 4
Divide the cookies equally between your 4 glasses, and arrange in the bottom of each one. (I find a small martini glass makes these look at their prettiest.)
Step 5
Spoon the cream cheese mixture on top, dividing it equally between the glasses and covering the layer of cookies.
Step 6
Divide the sugar-shiny strawberries between the glasses, to give a glossy red-berried layer on each glass.
