- Whip your double cream, with 1 tablespoon of the sugar and the vanilla essence, till soft peaks are formed. Be careful that it doesnt go lumpy.
- In a bowl, place half the strawberries, half the raspberries, the remaining sugar and the balasamic vinegar together and mash with a fork. Place the mixture along with the whipped cream in the fridge till you want to serve.
- When ready to serve, mix the mashed fruit and cream together, add the remaining strawberries, raspberries and rose water, fold mixture together
- Place your meringues in a bowl and break them up. Its good if you get a mix of small and big chunks for a good texture. To serve make layers of the meringues and cream mixture into desert bowls or glasses, and serve straight away
Serving suggestion
To make it extra special for a party, instead of breaking your meringues, have 1 large meringue per person, and serve with the cream mix in the meringue itself.
