Ingredients

• 2  egg whites
• 1/2  teaspoon vanilla
• 1/8  teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2  cup sugar
• 1  recipe Fluffy Lemon Filling or 1-1/2 to 2 cups Lemon Curd, purchased lemon curd, or vanilla or lemon yogurt or pudding
• 2  cups sliced strawberries
• 1  kiwifruit, peeled and sliced

Directions

1. Allow egg whites to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Draw six 3- to 4-inch circles on the paper or foil; set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. For meringue, in a medium mixing bowl beat egg whites, vanilla, and cream of tartar with electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until very stiff peaks form and sugar is almost dissolved (about 7 minutes).

3. Spread or pipe meringue over circles on paper, building up sides to form shells. Bake for 35 minutes. Turn off oven; let meringues dry in oven with door closed for 1 hour. Lift meringues off paper and let cool.

4. Meanwhile, make Fluffy Lemon Filling. To serve, spoon lemon filling into shells. Arrange fruit on top of filling. Serve immediately.

5. Makes 6 meringues

6. Make ahead directions: Carefully wrap meringue shells in foil. Freeze up to 6 months.

7. Fluffy Lemon Filling: In a medium bowl stir together one 10-ounce jar purchased lemon curd and 1/2 of an 8-ounce carton frozen whipped topping, thawed. Use in place of Lemon Curd in step 5. Makes about 1 1/2 cups (6 servings).
