Ingredients
4 large egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch
2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
3. Gradually add granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff, glossy peaks form.
4. Gently fold in the vanilla extract, white vinegar, and cornstarch.
5. Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a 9-inch circle with slightly higher edges to form a nest.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the meringue cool completely inside the oven.
7. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
8. Once the meringue is cool, spread the whipped cream over the top and garnish with fresh berries and lemon zest.
