Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper; trace 5 8-inch circles on the sheets of paper and grease the sheets with butter and flour.
- In a large mixing bowl with electric egg beaters whip egg whites until they form gentle peaks. Add the sugar gradually, ¼ cup at a time, and the salt, and beat at high speed until the egg whites form stiff and glossy peaks. Gently fold in the cornstarch, almond flour and cardamom.
- Divide the pillowy meringue evenly among the five circles, and spread them to fit inside the circles, making sure that the layers are even.
- Place baking sheets in the oven, immediately reducing the heat to 250 F. Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce the heat further to 200 degrees and bake for an additional 2 hours.
- Turn off oven. Leave baking sheets in the oven until they reach room temperature. This prevents the meringue from cracking.
- Stem and slice the strawberries. Sprinkle 1 tbsp sugar over the sliced strawberries.
- In a large, chilled bowl, combine the whipping cream, remaining sugar, vanilla extract and cardamom. Beat until holding soft peaks. Add softened cream cheese and beat into the whipping cream.
- Place 1 layer of meringue cake on a plate. Top with whipped cream, ¼ of the strawberries, more whipped cream, and another layer of cake. Repeat. Frost the top layer with the last of the whipped cream and the reserved whole strawberries.
- Serve immediately if you want crisp layers. For a softer texture serve a couple of hours after assembly.

MIDSUMMER SWEDISH STRAWBERRY COMPOTE - JORDGUBBSKRäM
Midsummer would not be Midsummer without strawberries, and this is a simple Swedish recipe to make, to celebrate Midsummer, wherever you may be! In Scandinavia, the summer solstice is a magical time. The lavender twilight lasts until 11 p.m. and the day breaks again at about 2 a.m.; above the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn't sink below the horizon for weeks. This year, 2007, Midsummer Eve, the beginning of the three day official holiday, falls on June 25. Throughout Scandinavia, families and friends gather to decorate the maypole with birch leaves and wildflowers, make flower crowns for women and girls, dance around the maypole, sing summer songs and feast on pickled herring, new potatoes, and aquavit. In addition, many families have their own special foods that they traditionally serve as the Midsummer meal. These are usually dishes that can be prepared ahead of time and easily served outdoors.

This simple strawberry compote has the consistency of a chunky fruit syrup and will liven up yogurt, oatmeal, scones, and ice cream. It also makes the most delicious topping for crepes! The touch of balsamic gives it a pop of acidity and a deeper flavor. Feel free to mash the berries with a fork or potato masher for a smoother consistency. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
