  1. Put the cream and sugar into a saucepan. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and let simmer for two minutes. While it simmers, zest in the lemon using a microplane.
  2. Juice the lemon and, after the two minute simmer, add to the cream mixture and stir. Remove from the heat, add the purée and vanilla, and pour into a jug (it makes it easier to then pour into individual glasses).
  3. Pour immediately into serving dishes (cocktail glasses look good, but ramekins work well too) and allow to set for four hours or overnight in the fridge.
  4. Top with strawberries, and decorate with mint leaves and toasted almonds.
