Ingredients

  • 1 pint strawberries
  • ½ pint heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups meringues crushed (lemon-flavored if you can find them!)
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 4 tablespoon granulated sugar divided

Instructions

  • Wash and cut the strawberries into small pieces and put them in a small bowl, then mix them with the lemon juice and 3 tablespoon of the sugar. Set aside so that syrup can form.
  • Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Sprinkle in the remaining tablespoon of sugar, and mix until just combined.
  • Grab 4 cups, and spoon a bit of whipped cream in each. Top with some strawberries, and some of the crushed meringue. Repeat so that you have two layers, and sprinkle extra meringue on top!
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, or if serving at a later time, save some meringues for topping right before eating. Enjoy!
