Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whip egg whites in a clean bowl with an electric mixer on high until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Gradually add sugar while beating continuously until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 3 more minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Spoon meringue into 4 mounds on parchment paper, then use the back of a spoon to create a shallow nest indent in each.

  4. Step 4

    Refrigerate nests for at least 8 minutes while you whip cream until soft peaks form in a separate bowl.

  5. Step 5

    Top each nest with 2 tbsp lemon curd, a dollop of whipped cream, and a handful of blueberries.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle lemon zest over the top and serve immediately.
