Kiwi-Pomegranate Angel PiesRomulo Yanes
Guests will go wild for these little pies. They're at once delicate and decadent, the airy puffs of crisp meringue giving way to rich, vanilla-flavored pastry cream and a sprightly mix of fresh fruit.
Cooks' notes:
•Meringues are best baked on a dry day; humidity may cause them to be sticky.
•Baked meringues can be left to dry in turned-off oven up to 12 hours.
•Meringues can be baked 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
•Pastry cream without whipped cream can be chilled up to 1 day. Whipped cream can be folded into pastry cream up to 4 hours ahead; keep chilled, covered.
• Kiwis can be cut 3 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
•Pomegranate seeds keep, covered and chilled, 3 days.
