  succulent berries make their appearance.

  until foamy.  Gradually beat in sugar and continue beating until stiff
  meringue forms.  Beat in vanilla. Place patty shells on baking sheet.
  Spoon raspberries into bottom of patty shells; top with scoop of ice
  cream. Spread meringue over, sealing well all around and mounding at
  top. Bake in 450 F oven about 3 minutes until lightly browned. Serve
  immediately. Makes 4 servings.
