● I make my own Ladyfinger cakes but you can substitute with ladyfingers you will easily find in your local market
The Strawberries
1. Trim the Strawberries (12) and make sure they are all the same height
2. Slice the Strawberries (12) vertically
3. Place the Strawberries in your individual glasses
4. Make sure there's no gap between the Strawberries and the glass
The Strawberry Juice
5. Mix the Strawberries (5 ¼ Cups or 600 g), the Water (2 tablespoons), the Icing Sugar (1 tablespoon) and the Lemon (½)
6. You may use either a Food Processor (with chopping blades) or a blender. Or, simply use a fork!

7. You may bake your own Ladyfinger cakes (8), or buy them at your favorite store
9. Dip some Ladyfinger cakes in the Strawberry Juice
