Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Spoon whipped cream into each meringue nest, dividing evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Top with fresh berries, pressing gently so they nestle into the cream.

  4. Step 4

    Zest half a lemon over each nest and squeeze a tiny bit of juice on the berries.

  5. Step 5

    Garnish with mint or basil if desired. Serve immediately.
