This dish celebrates three of our absolute favourite things; strawberries, meringues and kisses. &nbsp;These heavenly light, bitesize swirls of meringue, kissed with a hint of Nielsen-Massey vanilla extract are crisp and completely moreish, and that is before you add the dreamy filling. Sweetened fresh strawberries folded into rich, thickened double cream are sandwiched by the meringue kisses giving you a simple and satisfying bake. Be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to prep this pud as the meringues are bit diva-ish and need to hang out in the oven for a while to crisp up to perfection.

Strawberry Meringue Kisses

We've called this an Apple Meringue Tart but really it’s an Apple Meringue Pie with butterscotch. The difference is that we've not included a pastry case for this recipe and you can just use an ovenproof dish to serve the apples and the meringue in.
