Ingredients
- 10.5 oz strawberries (a container)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Half lemon (the juice)
Tools
- 1 Microwave oven
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Knife
- 1 Fork
Steps
To prepare this delight, no tools are needed, just 2 minutes in the microwave.
Prepare the strawberries, wash them well, and remove the green stem.
Cut them into pieces with a knife and place them in a bowl that is not plastic. Add two tablespoons of brown sugar and the juice of half a lemon.
Mix the strawberries well with the sugar and the lemon with a spoon and place the uncovered bowl in the microwave.
Set to 900 watts and cook for 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the oven and mash the strawberries roughly with a fork, then put it back in the microwave.
Cook again at 900 watts for another minute and your strawberries are ready. If you wish, you can mash them a little more with the fork.
Now you just have to wait for them to cool before garnishing your delicious ice cream cup!
