* 1 cup Heavy Cream chilled * 2 tbsp Granulated sugar or powdered sugar * 2-3 cups Meringues (cookies/nests) crushed into pieces * 1/2-3/4 cup Lemon Curd (store bought or homemade)
**Instructions**
1. In a large bowl, prepare sweetened whipped cream by combining heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla (note: if using granulated sugar, let sugar sit in the cream for 1-2 min to dissolve before whipping). Whip using a hand or electric mixer until soft peaks form. Keep chilled until use. 2. Crush meringues (my classic meringues recipe or store bought meringues) into pieces using rolling pin or your hands. 3. Prepare lemon curd (using my recipe or buy store bought lemon curd) and gather 4-6 small glass serving cups. Continue to assembly steps.
Assembly
1. To the bottom of each of your serving cups, spoon approximately 2 tbsp of whipped cream. Then, add 1-2 tsp of lemon curd, and a couple meringue pieces. 2. Repeat this process until each cup is 3/4 full. Sprinkle a few crushed meringue pieces on top as garnish. 3. Enjoy! (note: this dessert is best enjoyed immediately after assembly!)
**Notes:**
* Links to my lemon curd and meringue recipes are on my blog if you do not want to use the store bought versions. * This dessert is simple to make and can be prepared in whichever glasses/cups you have on hand! * Meringues will soften once combined with cream and lemon curd. Be sure to assemble these Eton Mess desserts just before serving! * You can adjust meringue, cream, and lemon curd proportions to your taste! * Seasonal berries can also be added to this dessert for a colourful and juicy treat
