Cherry Berries on a Cloud image

Beautiful and light meringue based dessert. Excellent for Valentine's day and Christmas. I often make individual servings using a coffee mug for a pattern. Your guests will think you have slaved for hours.

Time 10h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup white sugar
1 (12 ounce) can cherry pie filling
8 ounces frozen strawberries, thawed and drained
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar together in a bowl. Stir marshmallows, whipped topping, and vanilla through the cream cheese mixture. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 to 12 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Beat egg whites with cream of tartar in a large bowl; add 1 cup sugar in small amounts into the egg white mixture and keep beating until very stiff. Draw a large circle onto a piece of brown paper or parchment. Fill in the circle with the meringue mixture building up the sides.
  • Draw a large circle onto a sheet parchment paper. Fill the circle with the egg white mixture building up the sides to form a large cylinder.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn heat off and let meringue cool undisturbed in the oven without ever opening the oven door for 1 hour more.
  • Stir cherry pie filling, strawberries, and lemon juice together in a bowl.
  • Gently spread cream cheese mixture over the top of the meringue; top with cherry pie filling mixture.
