Summer Meringue Dessert

---

This is a wonderful dessert that uses up egg whites, extra heavy cream and summer fruit. The original recipe mentioned using a brown cut-up grocery bag (cut into a circle) but i found that using a pizza pan (12 -14 inchs) with cooking spray works very well. (i didn't try the grocery bag idea because i was worried that it didn't sound very healthy to use a grocery bag that who knows what's been on it). Recipe adapted from simply simpatico cookbook.
