Strawberries are on their way out, so to make the best of them while you still can and fill them with a fake-it-till-you-make-it cheesecake filling for a delicious treat that is a little less harmful on the hips.

Strawberries filled with cheese-less lime cheesecake
Ingredients:

• 20 to 25 big strawberries
  
• 250 ml Orley Whip
  
• ½ of a 379g tin of condensed milk
  
• Zest and juice of one lime
  
• Juice of one lemon

Method

Take a very sharp paring knife and hull the strawberries and hollow them out even bigger. Be careful not to cut through the bottoms. Keep the strawberries in the fridge and mash up the hollowed out bits. Mix the condensed milk, juices and zest as well as the strawberries. Whip the Orley Whip until it forms stiff peaks and fold into the condensed milk mixture. Allow to set for a while. Spoon into a piping bag and fill the strawberries. Place the tops of the strawberries back on and serve.
