How to Make Berries On A Cloud

  1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large, clean, grease-free mixing bowl, beat 6 large egg whites, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. (Do not underbeat.)
  4. Spread the meringue evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 1 hour at 275°F (135°C).
  6. Turn off the oven and leave the meringue inside with the door slightly ajar to cool completely overnight (at least 8-12 hours).
  7. While the meringue cools, prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  8. Gently fold in 1 cup heavy cream (whipped to soft peaks) and 1 cup mini marshmallows.
  9. Once the meringue is completely cool, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  11. Before serving, prepare your berry topping (see ingredient list for suggestions).
  12. Cut the meringue into 16 squares and top each with a generous spoonful of the berry mixture.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
