There is a dessert  from years ago that I saw a few times.

A piped round meringue shell (about the size of a tea cup) which has been baked and filled with what looked like a mixture of fruit and possibly whipped cream?

Can anyone tell me what this was please?

In high school, we got off of the bus at a bakery and I love to see the creativity in the cases.  Occasionally, we would munch on something on the way home.

That sounds like a Pavlova to me.  I have made them filled with strawberries.

Pavlova is the first thing I thought of too.

I think this is Pavlova.

I agree with the pavlova. Popular in Australia.

Thank you ladies.  Age 17 was a "little" while back, and I don't recall that word.

Hello @ECBG !  I just read a recipe for something that sounds just like this in my Taste of Home magazine this morning.

Try a Google search for Taste of Home Swiss Meringue Shells and see if this is close....

Ina has a good Pavlova recipe if you need one.

This is an EXACT match!  many thanks!  I think their filling was sweetened whipped cream with something, and fruit which kind of reminded me of the filling for a Millionaire pie.

I bet those meringues would be fun to make if you weren't in a hurry.  You could get very creative with the filling.  How about a refrigerated type of cheesecake filling with fruit on it?
