French In A Flash: Tricolore Berry Meringue Creams For Bastille Day Recipe
- 1 cup heavy cream, very cold
- Seeds from 1 vanilla bean
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 bought meringue nests, about 3.5 inches in diameter
- 20 raspberries
- 25 to 30 blueberries
- 4 stems red currants
- In a large bowl, add the cream and the vanilla seeds. Whisk until stiff. Stir in the sugar.
- Arrange the meringue nests on a platter. Fill each with a quarter of the vanilla cream.
- Arrange the berries on top. To make them look their best, arrange the raspberries first: a cluster of 3 opposite a cluster of 2. Fill in the gaps with the blueberries, and top with a strand of red currants. Serve right away, although these will keep okay covered with plastic wrap in the fridge for about an hour.
