3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

  • Try to get then into circular or oval shapes, using an icing spatula if needed.
  • Bake at 225 F (preheated) for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave them inside for 1 hour without opening the oven door.

  • Beat cream and powdered sugar together until stiff.
  • Fold 1/4 of the sliced fruit into the whipped cream and use to fill the indentations on the cooled meringues.
  • Decorate with remaining berry slices.
