Strawberries with Amaretto cream and crushed meringues

Strawberries with Amaretto whipped cream and crushed meringues / Maasikad vahukoore, amaretto ja beseeküpsistega

Another simple strawberry dessert that's ready and served within minutes. The recipe idea is from a Swedish recipe leaflet Arla Köket (2/2001, Jordgubbar på italienska).

Cut strawberries into small cubes, sprinkle with some sugar (optional) and divide between serving glasses. Whisk some whipping cream until soft peaks form, then season with a splash (or two) of Amaretto. Spoon over strawberries. Finally, crumble some meringues and sprinkle on top of cream.

A lovely contrast of flavours and textures, trust me :)

  4. What a gorgeous idea! Sort of a deconstructed Pavlova, and nicer looking than an Eton Mess.

  5. Heatherfeather - I would have used white meringues, but I had eaten all of them :)

    Catty - welcome to Nami-Nami!

    ChichaJo -it was simple and elegant indeed.

    Claudia - well, it lacked the marshmallowy aspect of a Pavlova. But it's definitely a possible way of serving Eton Mess, you're right :)
