5 Divide mixture evenly between trays and spread with the back of a spoon until they’re an even thickness
6 Bake for 50 minutes, swapping trays half way, until mixture is dry and crisp
7 Turn the oven off but leave meringues there for one hour, or until completely cooled
8 Combine berries in a large mixing bowl
9 Beat cream with electric beaters to soft peaks
10 Place one of the meringue discs onto serving plate and spread with one third of the cream

Tips
The meringue discs can be made the day before. Keep them on the baking paper and store in an airtight container.
