Step 1
Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Beat egg whites with an electric mixer on high until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add granulated sugar while beating until stiff, glossy peaks form, 3–4 minutes.
Step 4
Spoon meringue into 4 nests on the parchment, creating a shallow well in each with the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Bake until crispy and pale, 18–20 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Step 6
Whip cold cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Step 7
Top each cooled nest with whipped cream and a generous handful of fresh berries. Serve immediately.
