Ingredients:
4 egg whites |
1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 1/4 cups sugar |
green food coloring |
assorted sherbets |
Directions:
1. Combine egg whites (at room temperature), vinegar, cream of tartar, and salt in a large mixing bowl; beat until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Tint meringue to desired pastel shade of green.
2. Spoon meringue by 1/2 cupfuls onto greased, unglazed brown paper. Use back of a spoon to shape meringue into 4-inch hearts. Shape each heart into a shell (sides should be about 1 inch high). Bake at 250° for 1 hour. Cool away from drafts. Spoon sherbet into heart shells and serve immediately.
