Preheat oven to 200°F with the rack in the lower third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a heart cake pan or freehand draw an 8-inch heart in pencil on the parchment paper, turn the parchment over so the pencil-side is down.

Whisk together egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes. With the mixer running, slowly spoon sugar into egg whites. Increase speed to high and whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Gently fold in cornstarch, vanilla, and vinegar.
