Units
Scale
- 4 cups (500 g) raspberries (or strawberries, hulled and chopped)
- 2 teaspoons caster or vanilla sugar
- 2 teaspoons pomegranate juice
- 2 cups (500 ml) whipping cream
- 1 packet individual meringue nests
Instructions
- Wash the raspberries thoroughly. If using strawberries, hull and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the fruit in a bowl and sprinkle with pomegranate juice and sugar. Stir gently to combine, then let the mixture macerate for about 10 minutes.
- While the fruit is macerating, whip the cream in a separate bowl until it forms soft peaks.
- Break the meringue nests into bite-sized pieces and gently fold them into the whipped cream.
- Layer the macerated fruit and whipped cream mixture in serving glasses, creating alternating layers for a visually appealing presentation.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture of the meringue with the soft cream and juicy fruit.
Notes
For a twist, try using strawberries or a mix of summer fruits. Serve immediately to maintain the meringue’s crispness. This dessert is best enjoyed fresh, as the meringue will soften over time. If you prefer a sweeter dessert, adjust the sugar to taste.
