James Martin and racing driver Jason Plato make a delicious cheat’s strawberry gâteau on James Martin: Home Comforts.

James says: “Using a shop-bought flan case saves heaps of time so you can concentrate on making the presentation really stunning.”

The ingredients are: 1 large ready-made flan case, 3-4 tbsp whisky liqueur (such as Drambuie), 800ml double cream, 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste, 60g caster sugar, 400g large strawberries, trimmed and cut in half lengthways, 50g icing sugar, for dusting, 1 punnet small strawberries, 50g each of redcurrants, blueberries and blackberries and 3-4 sprigs mint.

For the spun sugar (optional): 65g caster sugar.
