Lemon & Meringue Passionfruit Mess

This dessert is as indulgent as it gets with yoghurt and fruits topped on meringue and cream. You don't have to worry about getting it wrong either — with this specific treat, the messier, the better.

Ingredients

• 800 ml thickened (heavy) cream
• 2 tbsps icing (confectioners') sugar
• 1 cup (280 g) greek-style yoghurt

• ⅔ cup (200 ml) lemon curd
• ⅓ cup (80 g) passionfruit pulp
• ⅓ cup (15 g) flaked coconut, toasted
• 125 g fresh raspberries

Steps

01. Beat cream and sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until firm peaks form; gently fold in yoghurt.
