Lees of Scotland Meringue Nests 8.5cm x 72pcs

Ready to Use Meringue Nests

Lees of Scotland Meringue Nests 8.5cm x 72pcs make dessert wonderfully easy. Crisp, light and ready to fill, each meringue nest has that familiar sweet crunch before gently melting away, with a hollow centre waiting for cream, fruit, curd, chocolate or whatever else you fancy.

At 8.5cm, they're a lovely size for individual desserts. Keep things classic with whipped cream and strawberries, go tropical with passion fruit and mango, or add lemon curd for something sweet and sharp. They're also an easy starting point for mini pavlova-style desserts when you want something that looks impressive without making meringue from scratch.

Key Features:

• Contains 72 individual meringue nests.
• Each nest measures approximately 8.5cm.
• Ready to fill and decorate.
• Consistent individual size makes portioning straightforward.
• Large pack is handy for parties, afternoon teas, functions and dessert service.

Recipe Inspiration:

• Summer Berry Meringue Nests – Spoon softly whipped cream into each nest and pile with mixed berries before finishing with berry coulis.
• Lemon Meringue Nests – Fill with lemon curd and whipped cream, then scatter over fresh raspberries for a sweet, sharp and wonderfully simple dessert.
• Chocolate & Salted Caramel Meringues – Fill each nest with chocolate mousse, drizzle with salted caramel sauce and finish with toasted hazelnuts.
• Peach Melba Meringues – Add vanilla cream, sliced peaches and raspberries to the meringue nests, then spoon over raspberry sauce just before serving.

How far in advance should you fill meringue nests?

For the best crisp texture, fill meringue nests reasonably close to serving. Cream, curd and juicy fruit gradually introduce moisture to the meringue, so assembling them at the last minute gives you the best contrast between crisp shell and soft filling.

What's the difference between a meringue nest and a pavlova?

Both are meringue-based desserts, but pavlova is traditionally made with a crisp outer shell and a softer, marshmallow-like centre. A meringue nest is typically crisper throughout and shaped with a hollow centre specifically for adding fillings.

How can you make meringue nests look good on a dessert table?

Vary the height of the toppings rather than spreading everything flat. Pipe or spoon cream into the centre, add fresh fruit generously and finish with smaller details such as chopped nuts, chocolate curls, coulis or a light dusting of icing sugar.
