INGREDIENTS
- 100 ml (3.4 floz) egg whites packaged pasteurized also called liquid egg whites
- 200 g (7.1 oz) powdered sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon (⅛ teaspoon) cream of tartar
- gel food color
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 100°C (212°F).
- Prep the Egg Whites: Add the liquid egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on medium-low speed until bubbles form. You can also use an electric hand mixer.
- Add Cream of Tartar: Add the cream of tartar and continue mixing.
- Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Once soft peaks form, add the powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time, mixing briefly between each addition.
- Whip to Stiff Peaks: Increase the speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Add Color: Add gel food color of choice and mix for a couple of minutes to fully incorporate. Start with a couple of drops and add more if needed.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Pipe the Meringues: Using a small piping tip (Wilton 2A or 4B), pipe small “kisses” onto the baking sheet, leaving about a ½ inch (1.25 cm) gap between each.
- Piping Technique: Place the tip close to the baking mat, about ½ inch away, pipe a blob, and once it touches the baking mat, stop squeezing and lift the tip up to extend the kiss and form the peak.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.
- Cool Completely: Remove from the oven and place the tray on a wire cooling rack to cool completely before removing.
- Store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
NOTES
- Avoid Humidity: Make these on a dry day for best results.
- Piping Technique: Stop squeezing and lift the tip up to create the perfect kiss shape.
- Uniform Size: Pipe kisses uniformly to ensure even baking.
- Testing Peaks: Stiff peaks stand straight when you lift the whisk.
- Color Variations: Divide the mixture and use different colors for a variety.
