- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 125g double cream

Step 1
You simply chop strawberries, crush digestive biscuits and whip cream cheese and cream, then layer up quickly in some waiting glasses.
Step 2
Top with strawberries on serving.
Step 3
Quarter the strawberries, then cut in half again, to give pretty small dice.
Step 4
Put into a bowl, sprinkle with caster sugar, cover with clingfilm and shake the bowl once or twice.
Step 5
Leave the berries to macerate while you put the biscuits into a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin until you have a sandy bag of crumbs.
Step 6
Measure the cream cheese and icing sugar into a bowl and whisk by hand.
Step 7
Add the cream, lemon juice and vanilla, and whisk gently to combine.
Step 8
Divide the biscuit crumbs equally between your four glasses, and arrange in the bottom of each one.
Step 9
Spoon the cream cheese mix on top, dividing it equally between the glasses and covering the biscuits.
Step 10
Divide the sugar-shiny strawberries between the glasses, to give a glossy, red-berried layer on each glass.
