Steps

In a large bowl, pepare sweetened whipped cream by combining heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla (note: if using granulated sugar, let sugar sit in the cream for 1-2 min to dissolve before whipping). Whip using a hand or electric mixer until soft peaks form. Keep chilled until use.
Crush meringues (my homemade classic meringues or store bought meringues) into pieces using rolling pin or your hands.
Prepare lemon curd (using my simple lemon curd recipe or buy store bought lemon curd) and gather 4-6 small glass serving cups. Continue to assembly steps.
Assembly
- To the bottom of each of your serving cups, spoon approximately 2 tbsp of whipped cream. Then, add 1-2 tsp of lemon curd, and a couple meringue pieces.
- Repeat this process until each cup is 3/4 full. Sprinkle a few crushed meringue pieces on top as garnish.
- Enjoy! (note: this dessert is best enjoyed immediately after assembly!)
