Desserts - Assorted
LIME PAVLOVA

3 large egg whites
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 to 6 limes
1 (14 oz.) can low-fat sweetened condensed milk
1 (8 oz.) container plain low-fat yogurt
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
5 strawberries, hulled and each cut in half

TO PREPARE THE MERINGUE:*
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with foil. Using 9-inch round cake pan or plate as guide, with toothpick, outline circle on foil.

In medium bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted. Sprinkle in sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until sugar has dissolved. Add vanilla; continue beating until egg whites stand in stiff, glossy peaks when beaters are lifted.

Spoon meringue inside circle on cookie sheet. With back of tablespoon, make well in center to form "nest" about 1 1/2 inches high at edge.

Bake meringue 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn off oven; leave meringue in oven 1 hour to dry. Cool completely on cookie sheet on wire rack.

MEANWHILE, PREPARE FILLING:
From limes, grate 2 teaspoons peel and squeeze 1/2 cup juice. In medium bowl, with wire whisk, beat lime peel, lime juice, condensed milk and yogurt until well blended.

In 1-quart saucepan, evenly sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 2 minutes to soften gelatin. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until gelatin has completely dissolved. Add gelatin to lime mixture and whisk until blended.

Set bowl with lime mixture in larger bowl filled with ice water. With rubber spatula, stir mixture occasionally until it begins to thicken, about 20 minutes. Remove bowl from water bath.

TO ASSEMBLE:
With metal spatula, carefully loosen and separate meringue shell from foil; place on serving plate. Spoon lime filling into meringue shell; refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Garnish with strawberries and serve.

*The meringue can be made several days ahead and stored in an airtight container. Fill the shell up to four hours before serving.
