Quick Meringue Hearts In A Pinch

Quick-meringue-heartsI’ll make this quick, because after all, who really has time to spend making desserts for a dessert bar, especially when it is last minute? I’ll admit, desserts are my daughter’s thing, and she assembled these adorable hearts for a friend’s engagement party dessert bar. Dessert bars need quite a few items to look great, so something like this, which simply requires filling some store bought meringue hearts with whipped cream, a cookie and a candy or two, can truly be a life saver. Who eats the desserts anyway? Maybe the little kids with the sticky hands that reach up onto that table? So I say, make something that is quick and looks great, with as little time investment as possible, and if you are like my daughter, invest in the beautiful cake that you leave in your newly married friend’s fridge for the day after the wedding! Okay, need a shopping list to assemble these beauties? Lets do it!

Meringue-hearts-with-fillingYou’ll Need:

  • pre-made meringue hearts (or any shape)
  • a can of whipped cream or the supplies to make your own whipped cream which you’ll pipe with a bag (like my daughter did)
  • cookies like the ones seen here, i forgot what these are called
  • little ball candies
  • pink sprinkles

How To:

Pretty self explanatory, right, just copy the photo, and I believe the cookies were cut in half, so just be aware that it may be too long, or not.

Enjoy!
