Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 140C/gas 1. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  • 2. Put the egg whites into a large spotlessly clean bowl with a pinch of salt. Whisk until soft peaks form. Gradually add the caster sugar one tablespoon at a time, whisking between each addition, until it has all been added and the meringue is satiny and forms stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted from the mixture.
  • 3. Fold in the vanilla extract with a large metal spoon. Using a piping bag fitted with a 1.5cm nozzle or a spoon, pipe or scoop the mixture into individual meringues about 7cm wide onto the prepared baking trays.
  • 4. For the ripple colour effect, dip a wooden or metal skewer into your chosen food colouring and swirl it through each meringue.
  • 5. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Test one by lifting and gently pressing on the base of a meringue – it should be crisp but give way with a bit of pressure – they will crisp more when cooling. Turn off the oven, and leave to cool in the oven with the oven door slightly ajar for best results. If possible, let them cool completely in the oven.

    " It was excellent "
    emileenelson2009 ate it and said...
    this was a holiday hit. Every one ate them up. we couldn't even wait for them to cool down. i tried to make them diabetic friendly, but they just are really not edible with splenda, I then tried it with truvia which worked a little better but still not near as good as the ones with sugar... they have a completely different texture.
