Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340 g) meringue nests
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese
- 1/3 cup (40 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups (300 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh raspberries
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries
- 1 cup (240 g) prepared raspberry or strawberry coulis
- 2 tbsp (15 g) sliced almonds, optional
- Fresh mint leaves, optional
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Hull and slice the strawberries, then reserve a few whole berries for decoration.
- Beat the cold heavy whipping cream, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until smooth, fluffy, and thick enough to hold its shape.
- Break the meringue nests into bite-sized pieces, keeping a few larger pieces aside for the topping.
- Spread a thin layer of cream in the bottom of a large glass trifle bowl.
- Add a layer of meringue pieces, followed by strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and a light drizzle of coulis.
- Spread another layer of cream over the fruit and repeat the layers until you use most of the ingredients.
- Finish with cream, reserved berries, meringue pieces, sliced almonds, and fresh mint leaves.
- Refrigerate briefly if needed, then serve as soon as possible for the best contrast between crisp meringue and creamy filling.
- Cover and refrigerate leftovers promptly. Enjoy within 1–2 days, noting that the meringue will soften during storage
