Cherry Berry on a cloud.

 Butter a large cookie sheet about 12x18. Beat 6 egg whites, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cream of tarter until foamy. Beat in 1 and 3/4 cup of sugar, 1 tbsp. at a time until stiff and glossy. Spread on your cookie sheet. Bake 1 hour at 275. Turn oven off and leave 12 hours. Don't open oven door. I do this part at night before I go to bed and it stays in the oven overnight. The next morning beat  2 cups of cream in a bowl. Get another bowl and blend 8 oz. of cream cheese, 1 cup sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla.  Now gently fold in your beaten cream with 2 cups of colored  miniature marshmallows. Spread this over your meringue on the cookie sheet.  Chill about 6 hours or more and top with cherry pie filling.

Sour cream

 Bananas 
Pineapple 
Mandarin orange segments 
Coconut 
Colored miniature marshmallows 
Start with the sour cream and add as much of the above as you like as you stir it all together. Top with red and green maraschino cherries. This can be made a few days ahead and stored in the fridge. Makes a very tasty attractive dessert. I serve it at Christmas.
