Preheat oven to 225°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In the
bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla on
medium speed until foamy. Turn beaters to high and add sugar, one
tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy. Spread into a 8-
inch circle on prepared sheet. Bake 1 hours, turn oven off and leave
meringue in oven with door closed for another hour. Remove from oven and
cool to room temperature. Place on a serving platter. In a small mixer bowl,
beat cream with sugar until stiff. Cover meringue with cream and arrange
berries and mint leaves decoratively on top. Cut into wedges and serve.
Makes 8 servings.
Tip! For the fluffiest results, chill beaters, bowl and cream, but bring egg
whites to room temperature.
