Dessert: Meringues with Double Cream and Rasberries

A Gruyeres specialty, this simple yet decadent dessert takes locally-made meringues and tops them with fresh berries and a wonderful double cream.

The cream is what really makes the dish. With the consistency of house paint, the cream is all produced from the milk of Gruyeres cows (including that uppity heifer Cherry...), the same milk used to produced the world famous Gruyeres cheese.

A splendid way to top off a day in the Swiss countryside.
