Pink Meringue Shells: Heat oven to 200 degrees. Line two baking sheets with
parchment paper, and lightly butter. Place egg whites in the bowl of
electric
mixer with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks
begin
to form. Add food coloring. Gradually add granulated sugar, and beat until
stiff, but not dry. Slowly add confectioners' sugar, and fold in with a
rubber
spatula.

Transfer meringue mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a #6 large star tip.
Pipe the meringue into 3-inch round disks. Then pipe two layers of meringue
around the edges of each disk to form a shell. Transfer to oven, and bake
until dry, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from oven, and carefully separate
the meringue shells from the parchment paper, and cool on a wire rack.
(Makes
8 to 10 shells)

Press avocados through a sieve into a large bowl, using a rubber spatula.
Add
sherry and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir to combine. Whip heavy cream with remaining
1/2
cup sugar until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into avocado mixture.
Divide between meringue shells. Top with one or more garnishes, if desired.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
