homemade if you prefer), crushed.

200 g strawberries
200g raspberries
1 tbsp lemon Juice
1 tbsp Icing sugar
4 large mint leaves
Zest of 1 lime
Mint leaves to garnish
1. Place 100g of the strawberries and 100g of the raspberries into the mini chopper. Add
the lemon juice and icing sugar and process until smooth. Pass the mixture through a
sieve to remove any pips, adjust the sweetness if required. Chill.
2. Place the cream into a suitable bowl and blend until softly peaking.
3. Place the remainder of the strawberries into the chopper bowl with the mint leaves.
Roughly chop together using by pressing the on button in short pulses.
4. Add the remainder of the raspberries, chopped strawberries and mint, zest and
crushed meringue to the cream and softly fold through.
5. Place into a suitable glass dish or wine glass and drizzle with the fruit sauce. Stir the
sauce through the mixture to create a swirled effect using a skewer.

For an alternative dessert, why not keep the meringue nests whole, top with the thick
cream and berries and drizzle with the homemade fruit sauce.
