Ingredients

  • servings chocolate curls shaved with a vegetable peeler from a chunk of white chocolate white
  • 0.1 teaspoon cream of tartar 
  •  egg white 
  • cup strawberry yogurt frozen softened
  • 0.3 cup sugar 
  • 0.3 teaspoon vanilla 

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • knife
  • hand mixer

Directions

  1. With an electric mixer, beat egg white and cream of tartar until very foamy. Gradually sprinkle in sugar, about 1 tbsp. at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until meringue holds very stiff, shiny peaks, at least 10 minutes.
  2. Add vanilla; beat about 30 seconds longer.
  3. Preheat oven to 22
  4. Cover a baking sheet with parchment. On it, draw 4 heart shapes, each 3 in. at the widest point. Turn parchment over and, with a knife, spread meringue 1/4 in. thick over each heart shape, building up sides so they stand an additional 1/2 to 3/4 in. high.
  5. Bake meringues for 45 minutes. Turn off oven and let meringues dry in oven for 1 1/2 hours. If making ahead, see Notes.
  6. About 1 to 2 hours before serving, fill each meringue with softened frozen yogurt.
  7. Place in freezer and chill until firm, at least 1 hour. Top hearts with white chocolate curls and serve.
