Love this. What a great recipe for the holidays - so pretty and it sounds absolutely delicious with the meringue crust. I'm pinning this!
Sounds divine!!! I make a dessert that also uses a meringue base made like yours but then it is topped with a can of peach or apricot pie filling and whipped cream or whipped topping and toasted slivered almonds. Also, can be made ahead which is a huge 'plus'!
this is the first recipe i made for someone on a gluten free diet, 20 some years ago when this whole gluten free thing was pretty much unheard of. i haven't made it in a long time thanks for the reminder. your picture looks great kathy!
OH !! yOU KNOW I BELEIVE I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS FOR MY CHIRISTMAS DINNER, IT JUST LOOKS SO CHRISTMAS ES.. WELL, YOU KNOW, SO PRETTY AND SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY DEVINE.. THKS.. :-) kathy.
Love the look of this delightful recipe, but hate marshmellow. Could I leave them out or substitute them with something else?
I agree, what a fantastic Christmas dessert!! One question: What is the consistency of the meringue crust after its in the fridge overnight...does it cut easily or is it still "crunchy"?
I'm pretty sure this could fall in the category of addicting drugs.
Several of you had questions on this dessert.
The crust. Once it has sat for the 8-12 hours it still has a crunch, but it cuts really nicely. It is not hard and crumbly. Good luck!
I have made this TWICE since you posted the wonderful recipe -- to rave reviews! Each of my guests departs with leftover Cherry Berry...and the link to the recipe on your website.
Since I prefer desserts to be a bit less sweet, I cut down the sugar in the meringue to 1 c + 3 T, and used only 1/2 c sugar in the cream cheese mixture. Was delicious!
Thanks! Your blog inspires both my cooking and my walk with God.
Made this last night for a party and it was beyond good! Next time I'll make a double batch. And the meringue...wow...I had never made successful 'anything' meringue. It was wonderful. Could one use this meringue recipe for cookies too?
You are right - this is perfect for the Christmas season. It looks and sounds wonderful Kathy.
This was a big hit last night for the 160 people we served at the Northview Staff banquet. So delicious.
