Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside another tray or flat plate for your strawberries. In a bowl gently melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30‑second intervals on medium power until melted, or melt it in a bowl over a pot of simmering water.

2. 2

   Holding each strawberry by the stem, carefully dip it into the chocolate only halfway. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl, then gently place on the parchment.

3. 3

   Pour the remaining chocolate onto the prepared tray and spread gently to form a thin sheet. Sprinkle with the crushed biscuits and meringues, as well as a generous amount of freeze‑dried strawberries. Allow to set completely.

4. 4

   After setting, break into pieces, then lift off the parchment. If storing, place back on a tray lined with fresh parchment and cover with film, ensuring it is kept in a cool, dry place so it does not melt.
