Lemon Curd Meringues

Sharing is caring!

Lemon Curd Meringues

So remember last week when I made these amazing Lemon Curd Blossoms? Well I had some lemon curd left (yes even after sneaking to the fridge and eating it from the jar, shhh) and so I wanted to use it another recipe and these Lemon Curd Meringues were just the thing!

Light and airy vanilla meringues are the perfect vessel for the tart and sweet lemon curd making the perfect dessert!

The curd and meringues are both so easy to make even if they sound a bit daunting but I assure you they are easy peasy.

You can easily whip up a batch of these and share them at your Easter celebrations this weekend.  They also make an adorable dessert item for bridal or baby showers.

You can top the curd with with any fruit you like, little slivers of strawberries, a raspberry or two or a few blueberries to bring a pop of color.

So get cracking some eggs and whipping some meringue and you too can have a platter full of these gorgeous meringues.
