Jude's Strawberry Shortbread Sundae Recipe
Here goes...
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon caster sugar
200g (7oz) strawberries, stalks removed and halved
½ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
A squeeze of lemon juice, optional
TO SERVE
Handful of pistachio nibs
Fresh strawberries, sliced
Crumbled shortbread
8-10 scoops of Jude’s Strawberry ice cream (found our co-branded Ice Cream in Waitrose, Sainsburys & Ocado!).
Method
To begin, make your strawberry coulis. Pour the water into a medium saucepan and stir in the sugar. Over a medium heat, bring the sugar syrup to a simmer and drop the strawberries into the saucepan.
Cook the strawberry halves for 5-6 minutes until they collapse and soften. Remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool for a couple of minutes. If using, stir through the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
Using a stick blender, puree the mixture until smooth. Either pass through a sieve to ensure a beautifully smooth coulis or if you’re satisfied, leave just as it is. Cool and store for up to 2 days in the fridge.
To assemble the sundae, simply put fresh, cut strawberry and shortbread chunks at the bottom of each sundae glass. Add a layer of strawberry ice cream and repeat. Top with strawberry coulis and pistachio nibs.
