Ingredients

  • 6 egg whites

  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ¾ cups sugar

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped

  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows

TOPPING:

  • 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form (do not underbeat).
