How To Make A Strawberry Ripple Shortbread Slice.

What I love most about this strawberry shortbread slice is how simple it is to make while still delivering that irresistible “wow” factor.

Fresh strawberries melt down into a glossy ripple that sinks into the soft, tender topping, adding bursts of juicy flavour to every bite.

Paired with the rich, melt-in-the-mouth shortbread base, it’s a dessert that feels comforting yet refreshingly bright.

Preparation time: 20 minutes plus 2 hours freezing time | Total time: 2 hours 20 minutes

Makes: 12 Bars

Ingredients:

• 400g pack essential Waitrose Strawberries hulled and cut into wedges
• 2 tsp icing sugar
• 250g shortbread fingers, crushed
• 50g unsalted butter, melted
• 1-litre tub Waitrose Vanilla Dairy Ice Cream
• 2 tbsp Waitrose Cooks’ Homebaking Freeze Dried Strawberries

How To Make:

This recipe is made for anyone who enjoys easy bakes with big flavours. You don’t need any fancy equipment or complicated steps, just a few basic ingredients and a little patience while the oven works its magic.

1. Firstly, blitz 175g of the strawberries in a food processor. Add the icing sugar then press the whole lot through a sieve to make a sauce. Set aside in the fridge.
2. Mix 225g of the crushed shortbread with the melted butter. Press this mixture into the base of a baking parchment-lined slice tin, about 18 x 28cm in size. Chill for 15 minutes. Take the ice cream out of the freezer to soften slightly.
3. Smooth the ice cream over the chilled shortbread base. Drizzle with the strawberry sauce then scatter over the fresh strawberries, dried strawberries and remaining shortbread. Return to the freezer for at least 2 hours or until firm then remove and leave to stand at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before cutting into bars with a sharp knife.
