I found this in one of my old cookbooks after I went searching. It calls for this to be put into a 8 x 13 pan, but I would think you could bake the meringue in any shape (such as you described) you would like. Please let me know if this is the correct recipe & I will stop looking.
Cherry Berries on a Cloud
6 egg whites 1/2 tsp cream of tartar 1/4 tsp salt 1 3/4 C sugar 2 C chilled heavy cream, whipped 2 pkg (3 oz. each) cream cheese, softened 1 C sugar 1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 250 deg. F. In a large bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 T. at a time, beating until stiff & glossy. Do not underbeat. Spread in a well buttered 8 x 13 pan.**
Bake 1 hr, turnoff oven & leave the meringue in the oven with the door closed for 12 hours longer.
In a chilled bowl, beat cream until stiff. Blend together cream cheese, sugar & vanilla. Fold into whipped cream. Spread over meringue. Chill 12 to 24 hrs. Cut into serving pieces & top with cherry-berry mixture.
**This is where I would change the recipe and make meringue swirls with indentations in them for the berry mixture.
Cherry-Berry Topping
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling 1 tsp lemon juice 1 pkg (16 oz) frozen strawberries, thawed
Blend all ingredients together.
Serves 12
