You have to make the meringues far in advance, because they need to dry for 4 or more hours, plus they take two hours to bake in the oven. The meringue recipe is simple enough: egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, sugar, and vanilla.
You pipe them out into little disks with an extra ring around the edge to make them into little bowls.
I brought them to Diane's for craft night and we made the berry sauce, which was made out of blueberries and blackberries that I'd frozen from last summer, as well as water, sugar, blackberry jam, and some framboise liqueur.
After you boil it down, it's a lovely sauce that you pour over the meringues, which also are filled with a nice cushion of whipped cream.
Look at this beautiful thing.
They were delicious, and we have enough today to eat during the Super Bowl. I'm pretty excited to have it again - it was a light dessert that is actually pretty good for you (considering that the meringues contain some protein and the berry sauce is loaded with antioxidants!
