    Meringue Swiss is one of those desserts that never quite goes away. The combination of crispy meringue, smooth ice cream, whipped cream and fresh berries makes it both easy and festive at the same time. It's a dessert that works just as well for parties and family dinners as for relaxed weekends when you want to finish the meal with something simple yet appreciated.

    The great thing about meringue Swiss is its flexibility. It can be built on a platter, in bowls or in individual glasses, and adapted to the season and availability of berries. The result is always colorful, delicious and inviting.

    Method

    1. Whip the cream to soft peaks.
    2. Roughly crush the meringues.
    3. Scoop the ice cream into bowls or onto a large platter.
    4. Distribute the cream, meringue and berries on top of the ice cream.
    5. Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.
    6. Serve immediately.

    Tips!

    Build the meringue Swiss just before serving so the meringue stays crispy. For larger groups, the dessert can be layered on a large platter and served with a spoon.

    If you'd like to vary the dessert, you can:

    • use several types of ice cream • add banana slices or passion fruit • switch berries with the season • serve in individual glasses for easier serving
