🍋 What You'll Need
Serves: 12

-
A little sunflower oil, for greasing
-
300g buttery biscuits

Let's Get Messy!
1. Build your base: Lightly grease and line a 900g loaf tin with baking parchment. Arrange a layer of biscuits across the bottom.
2. Whip up the lemony goodness: Whisk together the mascarpone, double cream, icing sugar, zest and juice of one lemon and half the lemon curd until thick and creamy. Set aside a quarter of the mixture for decorating.
3. Layer it up: Alternate layers of biscuits and lemon cream, adding little dollops of the remaining lemon curd as you go. Finish with a layer of cream.
4. Chill out: Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, allowing the biscuits to soften and the layers to set.
5. Make it glorious! Carefully turn out your cake and fold some crumbled The Glorious Mess meringues into the reserved cream. Spread over the top and decorate with extra meringue pieces and fresh lemon slices.
6. Slice and enjoy! Your delicious no-bake Lemon Meringue Fridge Cake is ready to steal the show!
