Very Berry Meringues

3 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh blackberry
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 225°F (105°C).
