1. Put the cheese, egg, lemon juice, vanilla and caster sugar in a large mug and mix together well. Microwave in 30-second bursts for 1½ minutes, stirring after each burst.

2. Whisk again – the mixture will still be very soft – then cool. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

3. Arrange the strawberries on top, spoon over the cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts to finish.
