SATURDAY DESSERT

(PREP TIME 5 MINUTES, APPROX. 4 SERVINGS)

This is my go-to easy dinner-party
dessert. It takes minutes to make,
it looks amazing and it’s simply
delicious! Try any variety of
summer fruits and berries.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • 500 g Strawberries
  • 2 tsp Caster Sugar
  • 500 ml Whipping Cream (a really good-quality Greek or natural yogurt tastes just as good, I promise!)
  • 4 Small Meringue nests (from a packet)
  • 4 Sprigs Mint

Steps (6 steps, 5 minutes)

  1. 1

    Hull and chop the strawberries and sprinkle with sugar.

  2. 2

    Whip the cream in a large bowl until thick but still soft.

  3. 3

    Roughly crumble in 4 meringue nests. Leave some chunks for texture.

  4. 4

    Fold the meringue, cream and fruit mixture together, keeping back a ladleful (100 g) of strawberries.

  5. 5

    Arrange in four glasses (small white wine glasses are an ideal portion size) and top each one with some of the remaining strawberries.

  6. 6

    Top each with a sprig of mint.
