Step-by-step
- Put 4 glasses into the freezer and leave them for several hours so that they get ice cold before using. Crush half of the shortbread biscuits.
- Put 2 tbsp strawberry sauce into the bottom of each glass, then place a shortbread biscuit on top, to separate the liquid at the bottom from the other ingredients.
- Add a layer of ice cream and then follow with alternating layers of fresh fruit, crushed shortbread, strawberry sauce and ice cream until the glasses are full, finishing with crushed shortbread and a few fresh berries.
- Top each knickerbocker glory with a chocolate flake and serve straight away.
