British strawberries at their absolute best right now. Whether you want to drizzle them in cream, sprinkle them in sugar or turn them into this delicious sorbet, there’s never a better time to pick up a punnet. Go on, pop out and buy some now. I’ll wait.
This recipe is the perfect frozen cocktail for a barbecue, or even a posh dessert at a summery dinner party. You choose whether you serve it with a spoon or slurp it through a straw.
This weekend is set to be an absolute scorcher so be sure to get these on the go. And, of course, swap out the Prosecco for sparkling elderflower or lemonade for younger party guests.
