Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C)

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Beat the egg whites in a medium mixing bowl with an electric mixer until soft, peaks drooping at the top start to form.

Step 4

Turn off the mixer and add the cream of tartar, vanilla extract, and half the sugar.

Step 5

Mix until combined, then add the remaining sugar.

Step 6

Keep beating the mixture until the peaks stiffen and stand up straight when you pull the beaters out.

Step 7

Spoon the meringue into a pasty bag with a large tip. Or fill a quart size ziplock bag and snip off a corner.

Step 8

Pipe silver dollar-size rounds onto the parchment.

Step 9

Make an indent in the center of each meringue with a spoon handle. Bake the meringues for about 1 hour 20 minutes they should be crisp but not brown.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and slide the meringues off the parchment paper onto a rack.

Step 11

Once they have cooled completely, fill the meringues with whipped cream. Place the raspberries and mint into the whipped cream.
