Meringue baskets

This easy peasy dessert idea only has four ingredients and is really a matter of assembly, rather than cooking. Choose whichever flavour of ice cream you fancy to fill the meringue nests, then top with berries and grated chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 4 meringue nests

  • 4 tbsp thick cream, icecream or yoghurt

  • 1 cup raspberries

    fresh or frozen

  • 1 cup blueberries

    fresh or frozen

  • Grated chocolate (or Flake)

    to decorate

Notes

Tip
Supermarkets all have their own brand of meringue nests.
Tip
Meringue nests are normally found in a box of 10 near the packaged cakes, vol au vents etc.
Variation
Use whatever fruit you have in the house (strawberries and mango also look and taste great), but raspberries and chocolate are my favourites.
