Instructions

First make the ice cream: add the frozen strawberries to a food processor and blitz, then add the cream and rosewater, if using, and blitz again until the mixture thickens – the cream should begin to freeze. Serve immediately, or transfer to a container and put in the freezer until needed.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Add the strawberries, sugar, cassis, if using, and a little water to a pan and simmer until the berries have softened. Divide between the bowls, put aside and leave to cool.
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured board and cut out 4 long thin strips. Using a brush or your finger, dip into a little water and run it around the rims of the bowls, then mould the pastry strips around the inside of the rims. Cut out 4 rounds for the tops, wet around the rim again, then press and secure the tops on to each pie. Make 2 slits in each, then brush with egg wash and put in the oven for 30-40mins or until the pastry is cooked and golden. Remove, dust with icing sugar and serve hot with a scoop of ice cream.
