I know this might sound like a lot of work but it is well worth the time you spend on it. Ingredients:
6 egg whites |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1 1/2 cups splenda granular (sugar substitute) |
1/2 cup cornstarch |
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen raspberries, thawed |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
2 tablespoons splenda sugar substitute |
1 (8 ounce) container light whipped topping, thawed |
10 fresh raspberries |
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and trace 5 7inch circles on the paper set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs whites until foamy.

6. Spread meringue evenly over each circle on prepared pans.
7. Bake at 300 for 30 minutes or until firm.
