- Using a sharp knife, cut your strawberries into thin slices and set them aside.
- Place your 8 meringue nests on a clean surface. I recommend using a baking sheet with sides to prevent any accidental mishaps.8 Meringue nests
- Next, put a teaspoon of lemon curd into the center of each meringue nest.8 tsp Lemon curd
- Put your whipped cream into a piping bag with a star head nozzle attachment and swirl the cream onto the center, slightly covering the edges of each meringue nest.8 tbsp Whipped cream
- Now for the fun part - creating the flags. Begin by placing a blueberry in the left-hand corner of the cream topping, then arrange your strawberry slices carefully to create the lines of the American flag. You may need to trim a little extra strawberry slice to fit neatly next to the blueberry.
- Finish by placing a mini white chocolate star on each of your blueberries. Serve your 4th of July Meringues and enjoy.1 tsp White chocolate stars
Notes
Tips and Tricks Once you add whipped cream and fruit to your meringue nest, it's best to consume them within a few hours to prevent the meringue from softening.
How to Store Meringues If you make the meringue from scratch, you can store them in an airtight container for about two weeks.
