Ingredients
- 8 shop-bought meringue nests
- 600ml pot double cream
- 2-4 tbsp rosewater, or to taste (it varies in strength so taste as you go)
- 500g strawberries, hulled and quartered
Strawberry
straw-bare-eeOnce available in Britain for just a brief period during the summer, strawberries are now a year…
- rose petals (from the garden, not the florist), to serve (optional)
Method
In a large bowl, break up the meringues into bite-size pieces.
Whip the cream until it holds its shape, but take care not to over-beat, then whisk in the rose water.
Just before serving, fold the crushed meringue and cream together. Stir through the strawberries, leaving a few to garnish. Alternatively, make layers of meringue mixture and strawberries in a tall glass bowl or in individual tall wine or dessert glasses. Finish with rose petals scattered on top, if you like.
