assembly

Spoon or pipe a layer of raspberry compote into the bottom of each serving glass, creating a vibrant base.
Pipe a small dot of whipped vanilla Chantilly directly over the compote—just enough to act as a cushion for the meringue.
Gently place a piece of dehydrated meringue on top of the Chantilly, pressing slightly so it nestles into the cream and fully covers it.
Pipe five small dots of Chantilly cream evenly over the surface of the meringue to create a delicate and structured finish.
Decorate with three pieces of meringue decoration and three fresh raspberries. Finish by sprinkling crushed freeze-dried raspberry over the top for a touch of colour and texture.
