I've noticed meringue nests are low in calories, anyone have any ideas what to do with them without adding up more calories? Thanks :)

    I love meringue nests.

    Sometimes if i just need a quick sweet fix i will just purekly munch a meringue nest.
    Other times I will have one meringue nest, add half fat creme fraiche (about a tablespoon i guess) and some fruit like summer berries (again about a tablespoon) etc and i get a really tasty low cal dessert.

    Low fat chocolate orange meringue nest:

    weight watchers (or any low fat) creme fraiche, sweetened with a little icing sugar (a ltitle goes a long way).

    Add a drop of vanilla flavouring and a tsp of cocoa powder and mix through.

    scatter some fresh/ tinned satsuma/nectarine segments

    Finish with a grating of dark chocolate (optional)

    Great for a treat!

    Oooooh, my favourite too!

    Blob of ice cream (i keep goats milk ice cream and some frozen yoghurt in the freezer - doesn't need much, just one scoop.)

    Something fruity - berries are good, but tinned mandarins are fine!

    Something crunchy - almonds or walnuts add a bit of protein. or some crystallised ginger cut into pices (ups the sugar content, though)

    And then I drizzle some balsamic glaze or pomegranate glaze over it for a cheffy finish (I bought these reduced in a specialist food shop. They are da biz)
