This Thermomix® recipe for Winter Fruit Meringue Nests with Lemon Curd is ready in 3 h and yields 3 servings. Step-by-step guide with precise Thermomix® settings on MixBuch.

Description

These delicate meringue nests filled with tangy lemon curd and topped with vibrant winter fruits are a delightful treat for the festive season. The combination of the crisp meringue, smooth curd, and juicy fruits creates a symphony of textures and flavors that's simply irresistible. I love making this dessert for Christmas or New Year's Eve – it's always a crowd-pleaser! The lemon curd can be made ahead of time, making assembly a breeze. Feel free to experiment with different winter fruits like cranberries or blood oranges for a unique twist.
