Berries on a Cloud
- 6 egg whites
- 12 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 1 12 cups sugar
- 1 12 cups whipping cream
- 6 ounces light cream cheese, softened (neufchatel cheese)
- 12 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup light whipped topping
- 3 cups strawberries, sliced (or other berries)
- Heat oven to 275, and butter a rectangular 13 x 9" pan.
- Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until foamy.
- Beat in 1.5 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time to avoid graininess.
- Beat until stiff and glossy.
- Do not underbeat.
- Spread meringue in pan.
- Bake 1.5 hours.
- Turn off oven; leave meringue in oven with door closed for at least 2 hours.
- Take the cream cheese out to soften and put a large mixing bowl in the refrigerator for the whipping cream.
- Beat cold whipping cream in the chilled bowl on high speed until soft peaks form.
- This may take a while, but do not overbeat.
- The cream must achieve soft peaks or it will be too runny or will curdle, so keep your eye on it.
- If it splatters while beating, make a shield out of waxed paper.
- Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla until blended.
- Drop it by spoonfuls onto the whipped cream, add the whipped topping and marshmallows, and fold in gently.
- Spread over meringue.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 12 hours.
- Cut into serving pieces and top with berries.
- Store covered in the refrigerator.
