Directions:

For the Berries:

With cold water, wash the strawberries and blueberries. Dry completely using a paper towel.
Cut the strawberries into thin, 1/4-inch slices.
In a bowl, add strawberries, blueberries, sugar and Grand Marnier.
Gently mix, and set aside and let the flavors absorb for about an hour.

For the Whipped Cream:

Using the whisk attachment in a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream, vanilla and 2 tbsp of sugar until medium peaks start to form.
Be careful not to overbeat!

For the Meringue:

Break the meringues cookies into bite-sized pieces, creating a nice crunch and texture for the dessert layers.

To Assemble and Serve:

In 4 small, clear mason jars or individual glasses, add a layer of the whipped cream.
Assemble the thinly sliced strawberries, pressing them up along the side of the glass.
Add some berries along with some of the juice and top with crumbled meringue cookies.
Gently add another layer of whipped cream, and top off with both strawberries and blueberries along with the juice, crumbled meringue and garnish with fresh mint.
Enjoy immediately!
