Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium-high until simmering and syrupy, about 4 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Remove from heat and let compote cool while you whip the cream.

  3. Step 3

    Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form and the mixture looks fluffy, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon whipped cream into each meringue nest, filling to the brim.

  5. Step 5

    Top each nest with fresh berries, then drizzle warm compote over the top.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while the compote is still warm and the cream is cold.
