    3                    egg whites
      1/4  teaspoon      cream of tartar
      3/4  cup           sugar
                         ##############################
                         FILLING:
    1      package       (3 oz.) cream cheese -- softened
      1/4  cup           confectioner’s sugar
      1/2  teaspoon      vanilla extract
    1      cup           whipping cream -- whipped
    1      can           (21 oz.) cherry pie filling
 
 In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy.  Add cream of tartar; beat
 until soft peaks form.  Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating
 until very stiff peaks form.  Cover a baking sheet with foil or parchment
 paper.  Spoon meringue onto foil.  Using the back of a spoon, form meringue
 into a 9 inch heart shape, building up the edges slightly.  Bake at 275 for 1
 1/2 hours. Turn oven off and do not open door. Let cool in oven for 1 hour.
  Remove from the oven; cool completely.  In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese,
 sugar and vanilla until smooth.  Fold in whipped cream until mixture is well
 blended.  To serve, place heart on a serving platter; fill with cream cheese
 mixture and top with pie filling.  Yield 6 servings.
