 This is such an easy dessert to prepare made with just a few ingredients. I love lemon curd and have many uses for it in baking. Before making this I was unsure if it would freeze well or if it would crystallize but it remained smooth and added a lovely zestiness to what would otherwise be a frozen eton mess.  Last Winter when I was devising my recipes for my Christmas Course I wanted to offer as many 'make ahead' dishes as possible and this was one dessert that I included. This is a perfect stress free dessert as it will happily sit in the freezer for a week or so before serving and then the addition of the coulis and raspberries makes it look that bit more impressive.

Ingredients
250ml cream, whipped
6 meringues, crushed into pieces
200g (18oz) raspberries, quartered
4 tablespoons lemon curd

To Serve
Raspberries
Raspberry coulis

Method

    Line 6 ramekin with double cling film. Whip the cream till thick then fold in the remaining ingredients.
    Freeze in the ramekins or a bowl/ an ice-cream container or a cling film lined loaf tin.
    Take out of the freezer 10 minutes before serving. When serving drizzle with some coulis and serve with some fresh berries.
