# What You Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 large egg whites, at room temperature
02 -
1 cup granulated sugar
03 -
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
04 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 -
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar and increase to medium-high speed.
03 -
Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat. Once all sugar has been incorporated, increase to high speed and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5–7 minutes.
04 -
Gently fold in vanilla extract. For a festive touch, streak or blend in pink or red gel food coloring as desired.
05 -
Transfer the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe small kisses onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing apart. Bake for 90 minutes until dry and firm to the touch.
06 -
Turn the oven off and allow the meringues to cool completely inside the oven to prevent cracking. Remove when cool and crisp.
07 -
Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For extra decoration, sprinkle with festive themed sprinkles before baking. Ensure bowl and whisk are free from grease for optimal meringue volume.
