Method

  • step 1

    In a small saucepan gently heat the frozen berries, icing sugar and cinnamon until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, stir in the cassis, if using, and set aside to cool completely.

  • step 2

    Whip the double cream and Greek yogurt until just holding it’s shape, ripple through the lemon curd. Break the meringue nests into a glass bowl, or 8 individual glasses. Spoon over half the cream, then half the berries. Repeat with the remaining cream and berries. Serve immediately.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKE IT DIFFERENT

Swap the lemon curd for 200g mango purée from a can, then fold this through your whipped yoghurt cream, layer this onto your meringue base and drizzle with 4 tbsp Amarula (optional) then top with the flesh and seeds from 4 passionfruits and 1 peeled and stoned mango, cut into strips. Garnish with a few physalis (Cape gooseberries) for a really impressive finish!

GET AHEAD

If you want to prepare this in advance, break the meringues into your glass bowl. Cook the fruit, cool and put to one side. Whip the cream, yoghurt and add the lemon curd, cover and put in the fridge. Assemble before serving.

Lovely recipe for a light sweet at lunchtime. I agree, a pinch of cinnamon gets lost against the other flavours. I put meringues in the bottom of the dish and then layered up the cream and berries but needs another layer of meringue after the first layer of cream and berries. I used home made lemon…

Was very yummy - but would like some more wintery spice to this.

This is an easy and colourful dish. Add a bit more meringue as it feels a little short on crunchiness.
