Ingredients
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups mixed red berries (such as raspberries, strawberries, or lingonberries)
- ½ cup meringue cookies
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine 1.5 cups heavy cream, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes; the cream should hold its shape but still be glossy.
- 2
If using strawberries, hull and slice them; leave smaller berries whole. You should have about 2 cups total.
- 3
Gently fold half of the berries into the whipped cream with a spatula, just until streaks of berry remain, about 2-3 folds.
- 4
Spoon the berry-cream mixture into 4 serving glasses or bowls, dividing evenly.
- 5
Top each serving with the remaining berries, then sprinkle 0.5 cup crushed meringue cookies over the top.
- 6
Garnish each with a mint leaf and serve immediately, or chill for up to 1 hour before serving.
