Instructions

  1. Put two tall glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes to keep them cold.
  2. Whisk the cream with the icing sugar until it forms a firm whipped cream that holds stiff peaks.
  3. In each glass, place 2 spoonfuls of red berries, then a scoop of strawberry ice cream and one of vanilla.
  4. Add a layer of strawberry syrup, then a scoop of chocolate ice cream and a few more red berries.
  5. Finish with the whipped cream, the crushed nuts and a glacé cherry on top.
  6. Serve immediately with wafers or a long spoon, so the ice cream does not melt too quickly.

Variations and tips

Banana version. Replace the strawberry with sliced banana and use a caramel sauce instead.
