FILLING:
In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat
until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tbsp. at a time, beating

blended. To serve, place heart on a serving platter; fill with cream cheese
mixture and top with pie filling. Yield 6 servings. Typed in MMformat by
