Meringue Hearts
- 1 egg white
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tsp. sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- About 1 cup strawberry frozen yogurt, softened until spreadable
- White chocolate curls, shaved with a vegetable peeler from a chunk of white chocolate
- With an electric mixer, beat egg white and cream of tartar until very foamy. Gradually sprinkle in sugar, about 1 tbsp. at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until meringue holds very stiff, shiny peaks, at least 10 minutes. Add vanilla; beat about 30 seconds longer.
- Preheat oven to 225u0b0. Cover a baking sheet with parchment. On it, draw 4 heart shapes, each 3 in. at the widest point. Turn parchment over and, with a knife, spread meringue 1/4 in. thick over each heart shape, building up sides so they stand an additional 1/2 to 3/4 in. high.
- Bake meringues for 45 minutes. Turn off oven and let meringues dry in oven for 1 1/2 hours. If making ahead, see Notes.
- About 1 to 2 hours before serving, fill each meringue with softened frozen yogurt. Place in freezer and chill until firm, at least 1 hour. Top hearts with white chocolate curls and serve.
