  1. Pour the cream into a large bowl and add the yoghurt, icing sugar and lemon rid. Whisk until mixture forms soft peaks.
  2. Fold in the crushed meringue and the lemon curd and stir through the mixture just enough to marble it through.
  3. Spoon the mixture into a prepared tin (see chef’s tip below) and cover. Put in the freezer to set for at least 4 hours, or for best results leave overnight.
    To serve: Remove from the freezer and allow to stand for 2-3 minutes before cutting. Return any left over to the freezer immediately making sure it is well covered.
    Serve with raspberry coulis on the side.
