- BERRIES ON A CLOUD
6 Egg Whites (I use extra large)
l/2 tsp Cream of Tamar
½ tsp salt
1 ¾ cup sugar
Beat egg Whites, cream of tartar and salt till frothy; gradually at sugar and bear till stiff.
(This may take 15 minutes with hand mixer or less with a Kitchen Aid type mixer.
Spread in a greased (sides and bottom) 9x13 inch pan. Bake l hour at 250-275 degrees.
Tum Off oven and leave meringue in oven for 12 hours.
2 cups cream, Whipped.
2 cups miniature marshmallows
8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
l cup sugar
l tsp vanilla
The next day, combine whipped cream and marshmallows. ln separate bowl beat
softened Cream cheese, sugar and Vanilla till smooth. Fold into Whipped cream míxture.
Spread over meríngue.
Refrigerate at least 12 hours. Cut in Squares and top with your favorite fruit sauce. I use
Danish Dessert (use fruit sauce recipe on the box). Let it cool and add strawberries or
raspberries. (Do not refrigerate Danish Dessert before serving-it will gel like jello)
This sounds difficult, but it really isn’t. You just need to start 2 days before you serve it and only the sauce needs to be made before serving. It is delicious.

1/2 pound butter (no substitutes)
3/4 Cup cornstarch
l Cup flour

Start with butter that is slightly cool. Combine all ingredient and stir until you are able to roll into balls. lf dough becomes too soft, put in refrigerator for a few minutes to chill then continue to roll into balls. Bake at 350 until light brown on bottom of cookie. Don’t make the balls too big as this cookie is much like shortbread, and quite rich.
Icing: 4 ounces cream cheese, l tsp vanilla, 1-1/2 Cup powdered sugar, 6-8 maraschino cherries finely chopped. Cream powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla. Add maraschino cherries. Frosting will turn slightly pink. I make these cookies the night before, and let the icing harden.
