1/2 cup egg whites, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sugar
strawberries or raspberries to fill tortes
whipped cream or ice cream to fill tortes
Beat egg whites in bowl (not plastic) until very stiff; add vinegar and vanilla. While mixer runs, add sugar very gradually until all has been added. Continue beating until mixture is well blended and egg whites again form stiff peaks. Reduce speed to medium and beat 1 minute.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Butter 2 cookie sheets and place large spoonfuls of the batter close together to form circles 4 to 5 inches in diameter. (Center of each circle should have an indentation about 2 inches in diameter, to hold fruit filling.)
Bake in preheated oven 1 hour. Turn oven off and let cool completely in oven.
Just before serving, fill each shell with strawberries or raspberries, and ice cream or whipped cream. Unfilled shells may be frozen.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

We used to live near Boder's - it was the go-to place for special occasions - and always ordered Schaum Torte for dessert!
