Description

A delightful English dessert featuring layers of whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and crisp meringue nests, perfect for enjoying the flavors of summer.


Ingredients

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

  1. Wash the raspberries thoroughly. If using strawberries, hull and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. 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.
  3. While the fruit is macerating, whip the cream in a separate bowl until it forms soft peaks.
  4. Break the meringue nests into bite-sized pieces and gently fold them into the whipped cream.
  5. Layer the macerated fruit and whipped cream mixture in serving glasses, creating alternating layers for a visually appealing presentation.
  6. 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.
