Meringue nests with raspberries, greek yoghurt, and honey


Since moving to London from Chicago 4 years ago, we found that Brits really know how to grow some sweet and juicy raspberries.  My husband literally eats a pint of raspberries per day.  I'm not kidding you!

I have to admit, it was my husband who came across this recipe as we were folding laundry.  The TV was blaring and Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals was on.  As soon as Jamie started making this dessert, my husband's eyes were mesmerised.  The flash of the vibrant and plump red raspberries being folded into creamy greek yogurt made my husband swoon.  We literally went to our local grocery as soon as the show was over.


Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients

2/3 cups raspberries
1 tbsp honey, plus a little extra
4 tbsp fat free or low fat greek yogurt
4 individual meringue nests
4 teaspoon lemon curd
Mint leaves

Directions

1.   Put half of the berries in a medium size bowl with 1 tablespoon of honey.  Mash lightly until soft.
2.  Add greek yogurt and gently swirl.
3.  Put the meringue nests on a serving board.  Place 1 teaspoon of lemon curd in each centre.
4.  Dollop a spoonful of your berry mixture over each meringue nest.
5.  Top with a few sliced raspberries, drizzle of honey and few small mint leaves.
