It looks fancy, but it's so easy!!
Cooking time does not count the hours of cooling in the oven. It would work best making the meringue either the night before or early in the day then finish just before serving.

Ingredients

• 3 egg whites
• 1 pinch cream of tartar
• 3/4 granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups whipping cream
• 4 cups strawberries (raspberries,peaches or blueberries can also be used)
