Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 275. Butter rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches.

Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in 1-1/2 cups sugar, 1 T. at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy. Do not underbeat. Line pan with parchment paper or heavy brown paper. Spread in pan.

Bake 1-1/2 hours. Turn off oven; leave meringue in oven with door closed at least 2 hours.

Beat whipping cream in chilled large bowl on high speed until soft peaks form.

Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and the vanilla until blended. Gently fold cream cheese mixture and marshmallows into whipped cream. Spread over meringue. Cover and refrigerate at least 12 hours.

For topping, combine all topping ingredients. Cut into serving pieces and top with berry topping. Store covered in refrigerator.
