Ingredients

2 lemons
3 egg whites

Whisk remaining eggs whites until stiff, whisk in remaining caster sugar.
Fold egg whites into lemon flavoured cream then very gently fold in 45 ml (3 tablespoons) of the lemon curd, using a metal spoon.
Spoon into a serving dish and then decorate with drizzles of the remaining lemon curd and the sugar-coated pieces of lemon. Serve with cape gooseberries, if desired.
