Method

  1. Put 300ml water, the caster sugar and half the strawberries into a pan; bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and strain the liquid into a bowl through a fine sieve. Push the strawberries through the sieve to make a purée and mix with the liquid.
  2. Meanwhile, soak the gelatine in a bowl of cold water for a minute until soft. Squeeze out the excess water, then add to the hot fruit purée and stir until dissolved. Leave the jelly to cool, but do not let it set.
  3. Place the remaining fruit in a 2-litre glass bowl and pour over the cooled jelly mixture. Chill for 2 hours to set.
  4. When set, pour the custard on top. Whip the cream with the icing sugar until it forms soft peaks, then fold in two-thirds of the crumbled meringue. Spoon on top, then decorate with extra fruits and the remaining meringue.
