Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whip egg whites with an electric mixer on high until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer meringue to a piping bag and pipe 4 nest shapes (2-inch diameter, raised edges) onto parchment-lined trays.

  4. Step 4

    Refrigerate nests for 15 minutes until firm enough to handle and serve.

  5. Step 5

    Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form, about 1 minute.

  6. Step 6

    Top each nest with whipped cream and fresh berries, then serve immediately.
