Meringue with Raspberries and Cream.

by a tale

A match made in heaven: soft raspberries and crispy, at the same time chewy meringue. Whenever we have this as dessert, both guests and hosts solemnly, silently sometimes sighing finish their portions, from time to time pleasantly gazing at each other and feeling at one with the world. At least Philine does!
