This is as pretty as it is good! Very festive for the holidays or any day that you feel festive! This is from Taste of Home, and it was tested using half sugar and half sugar substitute(they used Splenda).The times do not include cooling or chilling times called for. If you aren't a meringue fan, try using whipped cream instead.
