HOLIDAY MERINGUE DESSERT
THIS RECIPE was featured in one of Grandma's favorite cookbooks from the '50s. It's become our traditional dessert for Christmas dinner and seems appropriate for the season since the meringue shells look like mounds of snow. Whatever the topping, it's very festive. -Catherine Morrison, Newport, Pennsylvania

Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved., Cover a baking sheet with parchment. Spoon the egg mixture into two mounds on paper. Using the back of a spoon, build up the edges slightly. Bake at 250° for 35 minutes. Turn off oven and do not open door; let shells dry in the oven for at least 1 hour., To serve, fill shells with ice cream; top each with chocolate sauce, coconut and a cherry.
