Meringues Schalen

== Description ==
Adapted from Betty Crocker's International Cookbook. We had something similar at a wonderful local Swiss restaurant.
== Ingredients ==
* 3 egg whites
* ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
* ¾ cup granulated sugar
* ¾ cup heavy cream, chilled
* 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
* 1½ cups sliced strawberries
== Directions ==
# Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
# Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy.
# Beat in the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time; continue to beat until stiff and glossy.
# Don't underbeat! using a ¼ cup measure, drop small mounds of meringue batter onto the parchment.
# Try to get then into circular or oval shapes, using an icing spatula if needed.
# Bake at 225 f (preheated) for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave them inside for 1 hour without opening the oven door.
# Remove meringues from baking sheet and press an indentation in the base of each- using your thumb gently.
# Let cool to room temp.
# Beat cream and powdered sugar together until stiff.
# Rold ¼ of the sliced fruit into the whipped cream and use to fill the indentations on the cooled meringues.
# Decorate with remaining berry slices.
# Fill meringues only when ready to serve.
