Prepare parchment paper on a baking sheet and trace circles using a cup as a guide.

Flip the parchment paper so the circles are on the underside.

Place some meringue mixture on the underside of the parchment paper to hold it in place.

Transfer the meringue mixture into a pastry bag for easier use.

Fill in the traced circles with the meringue mixture, leaving some air pockets in the middle for crispiness.

Bake the meringues at 250°F for about 1.5 hours.

Turn off the oven and let the meringues dry completely with the oven door cracked open.

Crumble the top of the meringue to assemble the merengón.

Fill the crumbled meringue with homemade whipped cream and fruit.

Optionally, to create a two-layer merengón, place another meringue on top of the fruit, crumble it, fill it with whipped cream, and top with more fruit.
