Stage 5 - 2 min.
When the custard has cooled, beat in 2 tablespoons verveine liqueur using a whisk.
Stage 6 - 1 min.
Tip the chantilly cream into the custard...
Stage 7 - 3 min.
... and fold in gently with a soft spatula to make a light cream.
Stage 8 - 3 min.

Then top with strawberries, pressing them a little way into the cream to hold them in place.
Keep in the fridge, but leave at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
