Celebrating President George Washington’s birthday with a Cherry Scrumptious!  I use to make this for my children even before there was President’s Day!  1.5 cups vanilla wafer crumbs, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 tbsp sugar plus 1/4 cup sugar divided, 4 room temp eggs, one can cherry pine filling and whipped cream!  Prepare an 8x8 baking pan.  For the crust Place wafers in food processor and let it “whip” until you make crumbs.  Combine crumbs with butter and 1 tbsp sugar and press into prepared 8x8.  Bake crust 350 degrees for 5 minutes.  Next for the meringue - Beat 4 room temp eggs whites until stiff, gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form, spread meringue on  baked crust and bake again for 15-17 minutes.  Top with cherry filling and serve! #georgewashington #cherrydessert #dessert #februarydesserts #brunchwithbabs #babshack #presidentsday #presidentialdessert
