Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Whip egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, 3–4 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add sugar, whisking until thick, glossy, and fully dissolved, ~2 minutes.
Step 4
Drop 4 heaping dollops of meringue onto the parchment, using the back of a spoon to create a shallow well in the center of each.
Step 5
Bake until pale golden and crisp on the outside, 10–12 minutes. Cool completely on the pan.
Step 6
Whip cold cream with vanilla until soft peaks form, ~90 seconds.
Step 7
Spoon whipped cream into the center of each nest and top generously with fresh berries.
Step 8
Dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
