Method
1 Preheat oven to 110C/Gas 0.5. Line a baking sheet with nonstick baking parchment.

2 In a completely clean, grease-free metal or glass bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Whisk in half the caster sugar until stiff and shiny. Fold in the remaining sugar with a large metal spoon.

3 Using two dessertspoons, spoon six meringues onto the baking sheet, leaving a space between each. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours until the meringues are dry and lift off the paper with ease.

4 To serve, roughly crush the meringues and layer in glass dishes with the fresh strawberries and spoonfuls of the cream.
