Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 275°. Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Beat egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form.
  2. Drop meringue into 8 mounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Shape into 3-in. cups with back of a spoon.
  3. Bake until set and dry, 45-50 minutes. Turn off oven and do not open door; leave meringues in oven for 1 hour. Spread cups with lemon curd and fill with fruit.
