How to Make Berries Cream In Meringue Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, grease-free large bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until completely incorporated and meringue is very stiff and glossy.
  4. Gently fold in cinnamon.
  5. Using a spoon or piping bag, create 3-inch diameter circles of meringue on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  6. Using a little extra meringue, create a small rim around the edge of each circle to form a nest.
  7. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until meringue is firm and crisp to the touch.
  8. Turn off the oven and leave the meringue nests inside with the door slightly ajar for another hour to cool slowly.
  9. Meanwhile, prepare the berry compote: In a bowl, gently toss the berries with balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Let sit for at least 2 hours to macerate.
  10. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in vanilla extract.
  11. Refrigerate the whipped cream until ready to assemble.
  12. Once completely cool, carefully remove meringue nests from the baking sheet.
  13. To assemble, spoon some of the berry compote into each meringue nest. Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
  14. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon, if desired.
