Ingredients
  

  • 4 large egg whites at room temperature
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar for berries
  • 1 cup whipping cream or heavy cream

Method
 

  1. Adjust oven rack to the medium position; heat oven to 200°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
