Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 | Egg Whites |
| 1/4 | Cream of Tartar |
| 3/4 | Sugar |
| 8 oz | Cream Cheese |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla Extract |
| 1/2 cup | Sugar |
| 1 cup | Miniature Marshmallows |
| 2 1/2 cups | Cherry Pie Filling |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 275ºF (135ºC).
-
Prepare crust: Cut a brown paper bag or parchment paper to fit a round pizza pan. Place a serving plate on the round-cut paper and draw a circle with a pencil.
-
Separate eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Crack the egg over a separate bowl, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites. Save the yolks for another use.
-
Whip meringue: In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on high speed until frothy. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating until meringue forms stiff peaks.
-
Shape crust: Pour meringue onto prepared paper and shape into a pie pan, forming sides with a knife or rubber spatula. Leave a 1-inch border around the edge to allow for expansion.
-
Bake: Bake meringue crust in the middle of the oven for 1 and 1/2 hours, until crispy and browned. After baking, turn off the oven, open the door slightly, and let the crust sit for another hour.
-
Prepare filling: In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup sugar with a mixer. Stir in miniature marshmallows, then fold in whipped topping.
-
Assemble pie: Place a doily on a serving platter. Gently lift meringue crust from the paper and place it on the serving dish. If needed, briefly reheat the crust to make it easier to remove.
-
Add filling: Spoon the cream mixture into the crust and spread it evenly, pushing some up the sides. Pour cherry pie filling on top.
-
Chill: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time.
Variation: For a twist, you can use any flavor of pie filling. Try covering half the pie with blueberries and using cherry filling on the other half for a patriotic 4th of July dessert!
Enjoy this heavenly Cherry Meringue Pie with its irresistible combination of flavors and textures. It’s the perfect treat for any occasion, guaranteed to satisfy your sweet cravings! 🍒🥧
