Ingredients
  

  • <a href="https://www.patisseriemakesperfect.co.uk/gin-and-tonic-layer-cake/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lime Curd</a>
  • <a href="https://www.patisseriemakesperfect.co.uk/gin-and-tonic-layer-cake/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Meringue</a>
  • 300 ml Whipping Cream

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Top with a meringue and a slice of lime or a thin peeling of lime.
  5. Alternatively, place all the ingredients in a large bowl and fold gently before dividing between 4 bowls or glasses.
