Strawberry Meringue Cups

Note the assembled desserts should be refrigerated for several hours prior to serving. The quantity of meringues might vary depending on the size of the meringues. Mine were pretty small, so I needed 16 of them.

In a mixing bowl using an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until stiff. In a large bowl mix together the cream cheese, yogurt, sugar and vanilla extract to taste until smooth. Fold in the heavy cream.

Hull and chop the strawberries.

Place some cream cheese mixture at the bottom of 4 dessert serving cups. Add some meringues, crushing them with your hands on top of the cream. Add some chopped strawberries. Repeat these layers one more time, finishing with strawberries.

Decorate with some small mint leaves, if you have any. Place the cups in the fridge and let stand for a few hours before serving. The meringues will mostly disintegrate making the dessert creamy and sweet.
