  • Whip the heavily cooled cream with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar until stiff.
  • Break the meringues and briefly mix with the whipped cream.
  • Pour the meringue with cream and strawberries with mousse into cups alternately. Finally, decorate with meringue. Serve immediately.

SERVING SUGGESTION

  • You can also add blueberries and mint leaves for decoration. You can add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the whipped cream.

TIPS

Homemade meringues : 2 egg whites + 200 g of fine sugar. Preheat the oven to 110 degrees C. Beat the egg whites to a medium-stiff foam, then gradually add sugar a spoonful at a time, beating constantly until the foam is very stiff and shiny. Place 5 portions of meringues on a baking tray lined with baking paper, leaving space between them. Place in the oven on a lower shelf and bake for 1 hour , or until the meringues come away easily from the paper. Remove from oven and cool completely before using.
