Ingredients

Make this dessert with homemade hazelnut meringues for an impressive treat

  • 4tbsp chopped hazelnuts
  • 115g raspberries
  • 4tbsp hazelnut-flavoured liqueur, such as Frangelico (optional)

  2. Reserve 4 of the raspberries for decoration and put the rest in a bowl. Add the liqueur, if using, and crush lightly with a fork.
  3. Put the cream and vanilla extract in a large bowl and whip, using an electric mixer, until soft peaks form. Fold the raspberry mixture and meringues into the cream, then spoon the mixture into four glasses or bowls. Scatter the toasted hazelnuts over the top, decorate with the reserved raspberries and serve.
