- 300 ml Whipping Cream
Instructions
- Whip the cream until it is just firm, don't be tempted to overwhip it. You want it to hold it's shape, but not be too stiff.
- Take 4 bowls or glasses and put some cream in the bottom of them, break up some meringue and place on top of the cream.
- Add a spoonful of lime curd and then repeat the process until you have filled the glasses or bowls, finishing with a layer of lime curd.
- Top with a meringue and a slice of lime or a thin peeling of lime.
- Alternatively, place all the ingredients in a large bowl and fold gently before dividing between 4 bowls or glasses.
