  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp clear vanilla extract
  • gel food coloring (optional)
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 215 F

  3. Add egg whites and sugar to the bowl and whisk until the sugar has dissolved. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the double boiler.
  4. Add vanilla extract and whisk on high speed until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks
  5. Paint stripes of gel food coloring up the side of a piping bag. Fill with the meringue and pipe dollops of meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
