1/4 tsp (1 mL) cream of tartar
1 1/4 cups (300 mL) granulated sugar

peaks when beaters are lifted.

oven for 21⁄2 hours or until crisp and dry to the touch.
(Meringues can be prepared to this point and reserved
in an airtight container at room temperature for up to
2 days.)
3. Filling: Whisk reserved egg yolks, sugar and rum in
large, heatproof bowl. Place bowl over saucepan of sim-
mering water. Cook, beating constantly with an electric
mixer, for 3 minutes or until pale yellow and thick enough
to form ribbons when beaters are lifted.
4. Remove bowl from heat; beat for 2 minutes longer
or until bottom of bowl is body temperature. Beat in
Mascarpone, one spoonful at a time, until very smooth.
Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Spoon
