A classic British dessert made of whipped cream, store-bought meringues, and strawberries, this recipe is as easy to make as it is impressive. The meringues will soften as they sit, giving just the right amount of texture.

Ingredients

4 servings

1

lb. strawberries, hulled, sliced into thirds, plus whole berries for serving

cup sugar

cups heavy cream

2

.5 oz. store-bought meringues

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Toss half of sliced berries with sugar in a medium heatproof bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set over a medium saucepan filled with 1" of barely simmering water. Let sit until berries are soft and juices have accumulated in bowl, 25–30 minutes. Let cool, then toss in remaining sliced berries.

    Step 2

    Whisk cream in a medium bowl to soft peaks. Layer cream, meringues, then strawberry mixture in four 8-oz. glasses. Chill 20 minutes. Top with whole strawberries to serve.
