Preparation
In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together sugar, eggs, 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the whipping cream, orange rind and juice. Cook, whisking constantly, for about 10 minutes or until thick.
Remove from heat and whisk in butter until melted. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
Trim hulls from strawberries and cut lengthwise into slices; set aside. In a chilled bowl, using an electric mixer, whip remaining 3/4 cup (180 mL) cream to stiff peaks. Fold one-quarter of the whipped cream into orange mixture to lighten. Fold in remaining whipped cream and half of the strawberries. (Can be covered and refrigerated for up to 4 hours).
Spoon filling into meringue nests and top with remaining strawberries. Serve immediately.
Tips
Prepared meringue nests are readily available at grocery stores, usually in the cookie or baking section, or you can use your favourite meringue recipe making each nest about 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.
