Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons white sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh raspberries, divided
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries, divided
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon rose water (optional)
8 small plain meringue cookies
Preparation
Step 1
Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and vanilla extract gradually, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Keep cream chilled in the refrigerator.
Step 2
Combine 1/2 of the raspberries, 1/2 of the strawberries, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl; mash berries with a fork and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Step 3
To serve, combine mashed fruit and cream in a bowl. Add the remaining strawberries, raspberries, and rose water; fold everything together.
Step 4
Place your meringues in a bowl and break them up into a mix of small and big chunks for a variation in texture.
Step 5
Layer meringues and cream mixture into dessert bowls or glasses and serve immediately.
