Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 0.75 cups Granular erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the granular erythritol to the egg whites while continuing to beat, one tablespoon at a time, until stiff, glossy peaks form, around 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Gently fold in the vanilla extract into the meringue mixture.
Step 5
Using a spoon, drop dollops of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small nests or rounds.
Step 6
Bake the meringue in the preheated oven for 90 minutes or until they are firm and dry on the outside.
Step 7
Turn off the oven and allow the meringues to cool inside with the door slightly ajar for at least an hour to ensure they're completely dry.
Step 8
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered erythritol until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat.
Step 9
Wash and gently pat dry the berries; hull and slice strawberries if using.
Step 10
Once the meringue has cooled, gently break it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 11
In a large serving bowl or individual dessert glasses, layer the broken meringue pieces, whipped cream, and mixed berries.
Step 12
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream and a few berries on top.
Step 13
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
