Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Add egg whites to a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Gradually add granulated sugar while beating until the mixture becomes glossy and thick, another 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the meringue into 4 dollops on a plate or parchment, using the back of a spoon to form shallow nest-like cups.

  4. Step 4

    In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Top each meringue nest with a spoonful of whipped cream and a handful of fresh berries.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while meringue is crispy.
