Preparation time: 15 minutes, plus freezing

Cooking time: 2 minutes

250g (8oz) strawberries, roughly chopped, plus extra to serve
2 tbsp purple grape juice
1 tbsp crème de cassis
2 tbsp icing sugar
300ml (1⁄2 pint) soya yogurt

Place the chopped strawberries in a saucepan. Add the grape juice and warm gently, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries become soft and pulpy.

Press the strawberries through a nylon sieve and collect their juice in a large bowl.

Discard the seeds. Beat in the crème de cassis, icing sugar and soya yogurt.

Pour the mixture into an ice-cream machine and churn until the mixture becomes thick and frozen.

If you don't have an ice-cream machine, transfer the mixture to a shallow, freezer-proof container. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is just beginning to set around the edges. Remove the container from the freezer and beat the mixture until smooth, then return to the freezer. Freeze for a further 30 minutes, then beat again. Repeat the freezing and beating process several more times until completely frozen.

Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Transfer from the freezer to the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving.

Serves 2-3
