This recipe was much easier than I thought it would be. It looks beautiful and tastes delicious. I made several without the alcohol for my children and they loved the "crunchy cookie" with the fruit.

This was a great Valentine's Day dessert. Beautiful colors, light, and elegant. I made Ina's Whipped Cream with Orange Liqueur from her other recipe for Meringues Chantilly to dollop on top of the berries. I also added a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. I let the eggs sit out overnight to make sure they came to room temperature so the meringue would set correctly. Since I do not have a piping bag, I used a big plastic ziploc baggie and cut a whole in the corner to pipe the meringues onto the baking sheet. I paired this dessert with Ted Allen's "Chocolate Covered Raspberry" cocktail. It was a perfect match! The only trouble I had was getting the meringue off of the baking sheet. It may be because I used wax paper instead of parchment. The meringues stuck to the wax paper, which stuck to the baking sheet. I was very careful and was able to get them off with just a little bit taken off the bottom, but it was still beautiful on the plate.

For Mother's Day, I made Ina's meringue shells to serve with homemade strawberry ice cream and chocolate sauce. They were PERfectly tender and a huge it. I made them on Friday, let them rest in the oven over night and bagged them until serving time on Sunday. The eggs whites will expand more if they are brought to room temperature before using. In the past I've tried both chilled and room temperature eggs when making meringue and there is a significant difference. So pull the eggs out a head of time as instructed! Thanks Ina!

Love these. Recipe is so simple and tastes great. Make sure you don't make your meringues too big or you will have to cook them longer. Works great to make small little meringue cookies.

I must say, I cheated. Didn't try the meringue. But in the last 3 weeks, have made the baked fruit 4 times. And the whipped cream. I can always use an excuse for the whipped cream. I have recommended it to several people (both female AND male; just returned from a convention on bugs with mostly guys and lots of THEM cook! and my sister has already made it with vanilla ice cream (& loved it!! The instructions are right on par, no further description needed. Wow!! The BEST thing I've had in a long while. Thank you Ina, you provide wonderful inspiration and Great! dishes!!!

Has anyone tried roasting frozen berries? What were the results?

Absolutely delicious! This is the 3rd time I have done this for New Years Day and everyone loved it. I follow the recipe exactly-no problems. I don't understand why this is rated difficult, it is not hard to do! I find ALL of Ina's recipes to be GREAT!

I incorporated this into my new year's menu as a light dessert and it was a huge hit! I admit- I cheated: Whole foods sells meringues by the pack and I used those instead. I'm a great cook but baking is really not my thing. I don't enjoy it at all even though I love cooking. The berries turned out to perfection. I added some whipped topping as well. Everyone really loved this dessert. Simple, elegant and light. The perfect way to bring in the New Year :

okay. i think this is a very easy and simple to follow recipe. but i think it needs to be a little more descriptive with the instructions. when directing it should have been more detailed about how long to whip for, giving a time estimation. also when roasting the berries 20 min i think it should give what the berries should look like, because after less than 20 min let all the juice out and made the berries flat. im not sure if thats what its suppose to look like. so maybe a little more detail would help the cook rather than just questioning the whole time. over all it was a good recipe though.

The eggs must be room temperature in order to get the meringues to fluff. I've made these before and they are great. I'm making them now.
