For the cream cheese filling:
Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a mixer.
Lower the speed and beat for 2-3 minutes, until it is light and fluffy .
Scrape down the sides of the mixer’s bowl.
Add the heavy cream and beat until the mixture thickens.
For the berry sauce:

pestle, until it becomes a sauce. Refrigerate for 1/2 an hour to chill.
To assemble and serve:
Pipe some of the cream cheese filling on to a serving plate. Place a meringue nest on
top. This will help the meringue stay in place.
Pipe the filling into the meringue nest.
Drizzle with chilled berry sauce.
Add some whole berries.
Crush some of the smaller meringues over the top.
Serve, share and enjoy!

paint the inside of the piping bag before adding the mixture.
