In a medium bowl, combine the crushed cookies and graham crackers. Add the butter and mix to combine. The crumbs should form a ball when squeezed in the palm of your hand. If not, add additional melted butter one tablespoon at a time until you reach desired the consistency.

Mix the crumbs and butter

2

Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of one 9-inch fluted tart pan or six 4.75-inch mini fluted tart pans. Bake the crust for 15 minutes or until the crust is set. Remove the crust from the oven and allow to it cool.

While tart is baking, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, salt and sugar at medium high speed using an electric mixer. Beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add the marshmallow crème. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
