- 4 large (5½oz/160g) egg whites*, at room temperature
- 1 cup (8oz/225g) sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar* (see notes below)
- 1 ½ cups (12floz/340ml) heavy whipping cream, whipped
- 20 strawberries, sliced

Notes
- *Vinegar: use white, distilled or apple cider vinegar but avoid using malted vinegar. Also you can use lemon juice instead of vinegar.
- *Eggs: you can make a light-as-air yet vegan-friendly meringue base for meringue nests using my Vegan Meringue Recipe. Don’t forget to check out The Complete Guide to Aquafaba to utilize this amazing egg substitute in baking!
