Method

Set the oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas Mark 7. Pack the strawberries in one layer in an ovenproof dish. Dot with the butter, sprinkle with orange zest and juice and sugar. Roast for 15 mins.
Divide the warm, or cooled, strawberries between 6 tumblers. Soften the mascarpone in a bowl. Add dollops of lemon curd and stir roughly with a knife for a rippled effect. Spoon the mixture on top of the fruit. Scatter with biscuit crumbs. Dust with icing sugar. Serve within 10 mins if fruit is warm or a few hours if it’s cold.
