These little lavender meringues with lemon curd make a lovely light pudding and are perfect for an Easter dessert.

Lavender and Lemon Easter Meringue Nests

lavender

250 g (9 ounces) caster sugar

bake-safe lilac food colouring,

250 mL (9 fl oz) double cream

tbsp. runny honey

lemon curd

edible flowers and chocolate eggs,

Heat oven to 110°C (90°C fan) mark ¼. Line a baking tray with baking&nbsp; parchment. Draw 8 circles measuring 9cm (3½in), spaced well apart, on the&nbsp; baking parchment. Turn it over so the ink is underneath. With a pestle and&nbsp; mortar, finely grind the lavender. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites on a slow speed until foamy. Increase the speed and whisk until stiff peaks form. Gradually add caster sugar, 1heaped tbsp at a time, whisking back up to stiff peaks after each addition. When all the sugar is incorporated and the mixture is thick and glossy, whisk in the ground&nbsp; lavender. If colouring your meringues, add food colouring a drop at a time to&nbsp; reach a pale lilac colour. Spoon into a large piping bag fitted with a 1cm (½in) star nozzle.

Pipe meringue on to the circles in a flat round shape, then build up the sides to form a nest by piping again around the edge of the circle. Transfer to the bottom shelf of the oven. Bake for 1hr 30min until firm and set underneath. Switch off oven and leave inside to cool.
