Report
This strawberry dessert has loads of fresh strawberries, freshly whipped cream, strawberry glaze and fills a meringue nest like a Pavlova strawberry tart! Everyone loves it!

Ingredients
- 1 large meringue nest or 8 individual nests, see recipe card below
- 12 oz heavy whipping cream
- 1 lb strawberries fresh, organic
- 7 oz Marie's Strawberry glaze ½ tub
Instructions
Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash and remove the stems from the strawberries.
- Dry with paper towel and set aside.
Whip the Cream:
- Whip the cream until stiff, but don’t over whip or you’ll end up with butter.
- DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO ADD ANY SUGAR, not even a ¼ of a teaspoon. Trust me on this. There is plenty of sugar in meringue and glaze.
Assemble the Strawberry Dessert:
- Place the large meringue nest on a serving plate (tip: you may want to put a dollop of cream underneath to keep the dessert from sliding off the plate).
- Fill the nest with the whipped cream.
- Next, add the strawberries as close together as possible.
- Put the largest strawberries in the center, and put the smaller ones closer to the perimeter.
- Finally, cover the strawberries with the glaze.
- If you aren’t serving it immediately, keep it refrigerated, but I wouldn’t advise more than 24 hours as it really is best when served right away.
Notes
- You can use premade meringue shells for this recipe. If you do, skip the meringue directions and you won't need the first 2 ingredients (or the cream of tartar). Also, I like to have meringues premade so that this dessert is even easier. I have tried making homemade glaze several times with no success. Marie's strawberry glaze doesn't use any corn syrup or lots of chemical ingredients, which is why I use it. It tastes just like the glaze on the Scottish desserts of my childhood, too.
