1 (6 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar

1 pint whipping cream, whipped
2 cups miniature marshmallows
wilderness pie filling or cherry pie filling

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees (at least for 10 minutes).
2. Beat 6 egg whites to soft peaks, then add 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

4. Put into greased 9x13 inch pan.
5. Put into oven and shut off oven.
