Instructions
Step 1
1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
2. In a clean, grease-free mixing bowl, combine egg whites and cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Step 3
3. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat. Increase speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form and sugar is completely dissolved (about 5-7 minutes).
Step 4
4. Add vanilla extract and gel food coloring. Gently fold until color is evenly distributed, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
Step 5
5. Transfer meringue to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe small swirls (about 1-inch diameter) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 6
6. If using, sprinkle decorations over the meringues immediately after piping.
Step 7
7. Bake for 90 minutes. Turn off the oven and let meringues cool completely inside the oven (about 1 hour) with the door slightly ajar.
Step 8
8. Once completely cooled, carefully remove from parchment paper and store in an airtight container.
