Step 1
Heat berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium-high until simmering and syrupy, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from heat and let compote cool while you whip the cream.
Step 3
Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form and the mixture looks fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Spoon whipped cream into each meringue nest, filling to the brim.
Step 5
Top each nest with fresh berries, then drizzle warm compote over the top.
Step 6
Serve immediately while the compote is still warm and the cream is cold.
