  3. To build the Sundae: In an ice cream sundae glass scoop in some lemon curd followed by 2 scoops of your lemon ice cream. 

  4. Sprinkle a thick layer of cookies and top that off with the meringue. Repeat these layers again until you reach the top of your glass. 

  5. Finish with a generous swirl of meringue. Toast with a blow torch and serve straight away.
Strawberry Shortcake Sundae:

  1. For the Strawberry Compote: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat add the chopped strawberries and sugar. Allow simmering for 7-10 minutes then remove from the heat to cool completely. 

  2. Swirl 3 tablespoons of crushed cookies and 4 tablespoons of strawberry compote through the vanilla ice cream with a spoon. Pop back into the freezer for 2-3 hours or until firm enough to scoop.

  3. To build the Sundae: In an ice cream sundae glass add a spoonful of the strawberry compote followed by 2 scoops of strawberry shortcake ice cream.
