Instructions
- To make the meringue shells, pre-heat oven to 200*, line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat, (silicone baking sheet).
- In a clean, grease-free mixing bowl, whip whites on low speed until foamy.
- Add salt, cream of tartar and vanilla, and continue whipping about 8 minutes or so, the whites should begin to have soft peaks.
- Gradually add sugar, a few teaspoons at a time and continue beating until the whites are stiff and shiny like satin.
- Either use a pastry bag to pipe out heart shell, or drop by tablespoons on prepared sheets.
- Bake for about 1½ hours at 200* with oven door slightly ajar.
- When they are done, they will be crispy and light and will be easily removed from the cookie sheet.
- While the shells are baking, whip cream and sugar in stand mixer, or by hand with a whisk, until soft peaks form.
- For the Raspberry Sauce, or "coulis", thaw frozen berries and puree in a food processor or blender until smooth. Add sugar if desired.
- To assemble: fill each shell with whipped cream, and fresh berries. Serve raspberry coulis on the side, or drizzle on top.
- Dust with powdered sugar
Notes
- for best results, egg whites should be room temperature.
- Meringue shells can be made several days ahead of time. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
- A very humid day can affect the meringues.
