Preparation method:

TO MAKE THE LEMON AND LIME CURD:

Mix the cornflour with a little of the lemon juice then add all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat on very low heat whilst stirring and just bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and strain the curd through a sieve into a clean bowl. Cover with clingwrap and cool completely.

TO ASSEMBLE:
Spoon blobs of the whipping cream on a large platter and top with meringues. Add the citrus segments and drizzle with the lemon and lime curd. Add some of the marmalade sauce and dust with icing sugar. Finish off with crushed meringue and citrus zest. (Alternatively, you can assemble the dessert in small jars by layering the ingredients.)
