Instructions

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small glass and a pencil, draw 8 (2 1/2-inch) circles on the parchment. Turn the paper face down on the baking sheets.
Beat the egg whites & cream of tartar on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla, then gradually add the sugar and beat on high speed until the egg whites form very stiff peaks.
Drop onto the prepared parchment by spoonfuls, forming into flat rounds. Hollow out a slight well in the center of each
Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hour, or until the meringues are dry on the outside but not browned. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.
When cool remove from the parchment, by inserting a flat tool like a metal spatula or pancake turner underneath to gently release
Top with a generous spoonful of fruit curd, a scoop of sorbet and fresh berries.

Notes

I’ve had these come out perfect at one hour or a little undercooked/fragile depending on the oven. Consider baking an extra 15 minutes if they aren't browning at all. But if the crisp outside is thinner than ideal, they are delicious even imperfect and just need to be handled more carefully.Next time I’m planning strawberry or raspberry curd and mango sorbet!
