A Berry’s Best Friend
Layer crisp, crumbled meringues with billowy cream and syrup-soaked strawberries—or your favorite berries—for an easy summer dessert. Lynda Balslev for Tastefood

Crumble and shower meringues as a sweet and dusty garnish, hollow their centers to fill as a sugary edible vessel, or simply fold them into dollops of billowy whipped cream.
