Ingredients

Meringue

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 4 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruits

  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries

Optional Garnish

  • Optional berry coulis or fresh mint leaves

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add sugar, beating until stiff and glossy.
  • Fold in cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla. Pipe meringues onto parchment, creating small rounds with indentations.
  • Bake for 60–70 minutes until dry, then cool inside the oven with door ajar.
