Meringue Dessert

Last year Brandon and I had this dessert at an expensive restaurant and it was to die for, so here is my version.  I made this for Valentines day that's why they are heart shaped.  You won't be disappointed by these they are Fantastic!

Meringue crust

2 egg whites
3/4 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar

Add cream of tartar to egg whites and beat until stiff. (remember NOT to use anything plastic when making meringue.) Add sugar and salt a little at a time, until mixture is very stiff.  Use electric mixer.  Fold in vanilla.  Drop by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart on a foil covered cookie sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for about 15-18 minutes.

Then take a small container of heavy cream and mix it with about 1/4-1/2 cup of sugar, until it is stiff.
Once the cookies are cool top with cream and then with berries or chocolate.  Berries are our favorite for this dessert. Gasp! I know I choose berries over chocolate for once. ENJOY!
