Gruyeres Double Cream, Berries & Meringues

One of the things that Gruyeres is most famous for is (of course the dairy) Double Creme! The traditional way to consume this rich, creamy thick creme is with meringues and berries. Mix in just a bit of sugar and it really is THAT good. rich flavorful creme balances the tartness of the berries the the sugary light meringue. Beware that most restaurants will charge you an arm and a leg for his tasty dessert.
I went down to our local Fromagerie and picked up FRESH double creme.. a huge pot with a big ol ladle that the cheese lady ladles in right when you tell her how much you want. local meringues can also be bought.. We finished the whole tup of double creme that evening.. a little sinning every once in awhile can be forgiven right?
