I do not cook expensively, give a recipe to use the egg yokes.

You can use the yolks left from the dessert to scramble or use in an omelet or use in cornbread. They also can be frozen, each separately to all together. SWM

Made this for our pot luck dinner - had so many requests for the recipe, had to make a list of them! I didn't even get a piece of it! Was pleased with how it turned out and will make it for our block party in a few weeks!...hoping I get a taste of it this time around! A real keeper!

I assume this recipe should be refrigerated since the topping is a frozen whipped topping, but I wondered about the crust. Am I correct in assuming you refrigerate the Cherry Meringue Dessert when finished?

I made this for our care group..went over well, I was pleased it didnt call for anything costly, since I will be making it again to serve 60, and the most expensive is the cherry pie filling!... no cream cheese, and I will leave out the pecans, due to allergies.

I would highly recommend this; the crust can be made a day or 3 ahead of time, and oh, I used regular whip cream, rather than the frozen whipped topping! And, I will cut the pieces smaller!
