anything that has name like this deserves to taste good. this is a very quick and simple pudding to make. all you need are strawberries, thick cream, greek or plain yoghurt, sugar and powdered sugar. oh and the juice of 1 lemon. measurements below for 6 servings.
1. puree 400g of clean and hulled strawberries with 100g powdered sugar and the juice of 1 lemon. use a blender and whizz for a couple of seconds. set aside.
2. dice 100g strawberries and toss them in 40g sugar. set aside.
3. whip up 250g cream until it forms soft peaks - add 250g of yoghurt and continue to whisk until solid peaks form. the mixture will thicken, this is what you want.
4. fold the strawberry puree into the cream mixture and add the diced strawberries. fold well. it will leave lumps of cream, this is ok, fold until they lessen but be careful not to squish them as this will remove air from the pudding and it will be flat rather than fluffy.
5. pour into ramekins or a large bowl. chill in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours.
6. serve with a sprig of mint on top and a bite-sized cookie on the side.
you can make this pudding with other fruit such as bananas or pomegranates. the latter being rather fiddly but definitely worth it. if it's too sweet, reduce the amount of powdered sugar but don't alter the ratio of ingredients too much or it will not hold its shape.
