Ingredients

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 store-bought or homemade meringue nests, roughly crushed

Instructions

In a bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar and let macerate for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the crushed meringue into the whipped cream, leaving some chunks for texture.
Layer the strawberry mixture and cream-meringue mixture in serving glasses or bowls.
Top with additional strawberries and meringue crumbs. Serve immediately.

Tips

For best texture, assemble just before serving to keep the meringue crunchy.
You can substitute raspberries or a mix of berries for strawberries.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 hours; the meringue will soften.
