To make the strawberry sauce, add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and blend them using a stick blender. You can also blend them in a blender, or mash them up with a fork
Use an electric whisk to whip up the double cream with the icing sugar and vanilla extract
Break up the meringue nests for the dessert into chunks with your hands and gently fold it into the whipped cream
Layer up the desserts starting with the cream and meringue mixture, then add some fresh chopped strawberries, followed by some strawberry sauce
Next, add more of the cream and meringue mixture to your serving glasses, then the remaining fresh chopped strawberries, and the remaining strawberry sauce
Finally top with the remaining cream and meringue mixture, then top each one with a fresh strawberry and add some extra pieces of broken up meringue
Serve immediately, store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days

I used shop bought meringue nests for this recipe, but you can make your own, or this recipe would be a great way to use up leftover meringue.
You can add other berries to this recipe like raspberries or blueberries.
You need to use double cream of whipping cream for this recipe, single cream will not work.
Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
