Step 1
Whip heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form, ~2 minutes. Fold in lemon zest gently.
Step 2
Spoon whipped cream into each pavlova nest, creating a small well in the center.
Step 3
Pile fresh berries on top of the cream, pressing gently so they nestle in.
Step 4
Place each nest on a dessert plate and pour a shot of cooled espresso into a small cup alongside.
Step 5
Serve immediately. Sip the espresso between bites to cut the sweetness.
