Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pour heavy cream into a bowl. Whip with a hand mixer or whisk for 90 seconds until soft peaks form.

  2. Step 2

    Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Whip for 30 seconds until smooth and holds stiff peaks.

  3. Step 3

    Slice strawberries into quarters. Coarsely chop pistachios so some pieces stay chunky.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon a generous dollop of vanilla cream into each meringue nest, mounding slightly in the center.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter strawberries and blueberries over the cream, pressing gently so they nestle in.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle crushed pistachios over the berries and drizzle lightly with honey. Serve immediately.
