I'm in need of some help!
Has anyone got any yummy recipes for strawberries? Anything really?
BIL came over yesterday and bought us some and I feel like it's just a waste if I eat them by themselves so I thought I should make something nice for DH (Plus I haven't cooked much lately and I'm feeling a bit guilty :redface:)
Thanks!
Ohhh I will be keeping a eye on this as I sent DH to the shops to get a few things on friday night before he came home from work and he bought 3 large rectangle punnets or strawberries....CAUSE THEY WERE ON SPECIAL!!!! Lol.....
Strawberry Whip
Ingredients (serves 4)
Method
- 1 litre vanilla ice-cream
- 250g punnet strawberries, hulled, halved
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup extra strawberries, to serve
Notes & tips
- Place half the ice-cream, half the strawberries and 1 tablespoon of syrup into blender or food processor. Blend or process until smooth. Transfer to a shallow airtight container. Repeat with remaining icecream, strawberries and syrup.
- Cover. Freeze for 2 hours. Spoon into bowls. Top with extra strawberries. Serve.
Hint You could replace strawberries with frozen raspberries. If you use frozen berries, the whip will be thick enough to process and serve immediately.
