Strawberry Marshmallow Meringue
Grind 1/2 oz. freeze-dried strawberries in a small food processor. Sift powder through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. (You should have about 1 Tbsp. strawberry powder.) In a large mixing bowl combine 2 pasteurized egg whites, 1 Tbsp. freeze-dried strawberry powder, 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high until foamy. Gradually add 2 Tbsp. sugar, 1Tbsp. at a time, beating until soft, glossy peaks form (tips curl). Add half of a 7-oz. jar marshmallow creme in large spoonfuls while beating at medium speed. Beat until smooth and mixture almost forms stiff peaks (tips stand straight).
