Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). 
  2. In a bowl, combine the flour, icing sugar, lemon zest, basil olive oil, and salt until a crumbly dough forms. 
  3. Press the dough into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Lightly prick the surface with a fork. 
  4. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the shortbread is lightly golden. Let cool completely, then crumble into coarse pieces. 
  5. Meanwhile, place the strawberries in a bowl and toss with the balsamic vinegar. Let macerate for a few minutes. 
  6. In a chilled bowl, whip the cream and icing sugar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. 
  7. Divide the strawberries among serving bowls or glasses. Top with the whipped cream, then finish with the shortbread crumble and fresh basil leaves.
