Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whip egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and no sugar grains remain, ~2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Dollop 4 meringue nests onto a plate, creating a slight well in the center of each with the back of a spoon.

  4. Step 4

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

  5. Step 5

    Spoon whipped cream into each nest, then top with berries and chocolate buttons.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately—the nests will soften if they sit longer than 5 minutes.

Tools you’ll need
