Ingredients

For the meringue nests:

3 egg whites
½ tsp lemon juice
150g caster sugar

For the filling:

4 scoops vanilla ice cream
2 shortbread biscuits (crumbled)
8 tbsp whipped cream
4 strawberries (chopped)

For the topping:

4 strawberries (sliced lengthwise)
24 blueberries

Method

1. Heat oven to 110C/fan 90C/gas ¼. Tip the egg whites and lemon juice into the clean bowl of a food mixer. Whisk until the whites double in volume and hold a peak when the whisk is drawn through them. Keep the whisk running and add the sugar a tbsp at a time, incorporating completely before adding the next. Whisk until all the sugar has been added and the whites are glossy.
2. Place a square of baking parchment on a large baking sheet. Spoon the meringue into a large piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle and pipe into a 20cm/8 inch circle, piping two or more rings around the edge to form a nest. Bake for 2 hrs until crisp and lifts off the paper easily. Leave to cool completely.
3. Mix the crushed shortbread & shopped strawberries into the ice cream and use to fill the meringue
4. Arrange fruit to form union jack pattern on the top and serve immediately
