This classic British dessert is a variation of the Australian/New Zealand dish, Pavlova. It is very kid-friendly as it’s easy to make and a definite crowd-pleaser. 

 

Serves 6

1 pint heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups store-bought meringues, broken into small pieces
2 cups mixed berries – strawberries, raspberries, blueberries

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Whip the cream until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla. With a wooden spoon, gently blend in the meringues and berries.

Serve in dessert dishes with a sprig of mint for garnish
