How to make?
Ingredients
1 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered
1/4 pound blueberries
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners\' sugar
3 cups coarsely crumbled meringue cookies
Directions
Gently stir together strawberries, blueberries, and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Cover, and let stand at room temperature until juices are released, at least 30 minutes . Give the berries a stir, so that the juices mix with the berries. Whisk together cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the cookies until combined. To serve, take 6 half-pint mason jars . Spoon in a generous dollop of the cream-and-cookie mixture, and then spoon a layer of berries on top. Add a second layer of the cookie-and-cream mixture and finish off with a spoonful of berries for a pretty finish. Repeat with the remaining jars or serving cups. Serve immediately, or freeze for up to 2 days .
