Recipe Description

I am in love with this Lemon Meringue Fridge Cake recipe. An easy whisk up of all the ingredients with mascarpone and double cream and a lemon zest flavoring, it just doesn’t more convenient.

Make sure to have enough time for refrigeration from 8-48 hours for that perfect set tart. Use mini meringues for decoration on top, they bring a little crunch to your cake and they look cute too!
