Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cooling Time 1 hour hr
- 6 lady finger biscuits
- 1 lemon for zest and juice
- 200ml lemon curd
- 200ml pineapple juice
- 150g double cream
- 1 can squirty cream for garnish
- 6 mini white meringues or 3 large meringues
- 1 lemon
Snap one lady finger biscuit into small pieces and place evenly in the bottom of a glass and repeat for the remaining 5 glasses. I used small tumbler glasses – 6 cm w 8.5 cm w. Now soak the sponge biscuits by pouring the pineapple juice among the six glasses.
In a large mixing bowl pour the double cream and add the lemon curd bring together until smooth, thick, light, and fluffy, preferably with a free-standing mixer or electric hand whisk which can take about 6 to 8 minutes.
Gently spoon or pipe the mixture into the prepared glasses evenly. Cover and place in the fridge to allow to set for about an hour at least or overnight.
Just before serving squirt cream from can and place a mini meringue on each glass or if using large meringues break into large pieces and distribute evenly between the glasses; three should be adequate. Garnish with a zest of lemon.
