I really enjoyed making these. They looked so fun and springy that I tried them out - everyone loved them! They have a great fresh fruit taste.

I used my regular Lemon Meringue pie filling recipe as I doubled the recipe for the cups for a crowd. The meringue cups are really fragile but made a great presentation. I had many compliments on these.

It would be nice if the Nutrition Facts would print when you print the recipe

These were fantastic and easy to prepare. I too used the lemon curd recipe here and found it to be a bit tart - additional sugar was necessary; otherwise it was great!

this was a wonderful dessert. I made it for Easter since my daughter and I are both watching our weight. We both loved it!!

It was easy to adjust the size of the meringue cups as we had some small children for Easter dinner. These were light and so attractive. Only one did not eat the meringue, but they did finish off the lemon curd (made with the recipe here) and all of the fruit. Thank You for the recipe.

Altho meringue cups were very lite, they were too large. I thhink I would make them smaller, and tdhey would look more attractive on a dessert plate. Very good and liked by all.

I've always been afraid to try meringue recipes (except for lemon pie) and now I know how easy it is.I will use this recipe again and again! Everyone loved it and I looked like a gourmet chef!!

I made this for Easter. My meringues were so tough on the bottom that even a sharp knife didn't cut it apart. tasted wonderful and the curd was delicious. What did I do wrong with the meringues. They were beautiful to look at.

This was so easy. I served it at Easter and even the kids came back for seconds. I couldn't find lemon curd so I made my own. I also made a chocolate/cool whip pudding mixture and put some of that in some of meringue cups. I will make this again.
