  4. Crush the meringue nests into small pieces, and delicately fold them into the cream mixture.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin, pressing it down gently.
  6. Cover the tin and freeze for at least 8 hours, or until the cake is completely set.
  7. Melt the butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat and simmer for about 3 minutes.
  8. Stir in the coconut cream and continue to simmer for around 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  9. Allow the sauce to cool in a jug at room temperature.
