You'll be floating on air with this heavenly dessert that tastes as good at it looks! Plus, how can you not love a dessert that is so cholesterol-friendly, the recipe uses only the whites of eggs.
The meringue shell can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge, wrapped in Saran™ Premium Wrap, for up to a week. After baking, fill the shell with whipped cream (try our Lavender Whip) and/or your favorite yogurt, custard, or ice cream!

Slice the strawberries and place in bowl.
3.
Toss 3 teaspoons of sugar with the strawberries and refrigerate for at least an hour.

Preheat oven to 300-degrees F.
5.
Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

Continue beating the egg whites while adding 1 Tablespoon of sugar at a time until the entire 1/2 cup of sugar is dissolved.

8.
Draw a 9- to 10-inch circle on a piece of wax paper. Turn the drawn side down and place paper on a cookie sheet.

Using the back of a spoon, shape the meringue into your circle. Shape the meringue so that it is as even as possible and is concave in the center, forming a nest for the strawberries.
