Meringues

Meringues
[adinserter block=”1″]
There is just something about meringues that make so giddy when I see them. Crunchy on the outside and soft and mallow-y on the inside. Ugh.

It’s what dreams are made of. I’m currently having a minor love affair with all things mallow-y and colorful. And these meringues are definitely colorful!

Meringues

Meringues can be made two ways. One is the French method where you whip egg whites while gradually adding sugar to the mixture. The other is the Swiss method, where you whisk the sugar and egg whites over a double boiler in order to dissolve all the sugar before whipping it up.

I made these meringues with the Swiss method in hopes of getting a chewy-in-the-middle texture.

You can color the meringues by adding gel food coloring either directly to the meringue or by painting the piping bag. I love how vibrant the colors are when you use gel food coloring! You can also use whatever piping tip you want. I mixed it up between a round tip and a star tip.

Meringues dessert table

These meringues are the perfect addition to a dessert table. You can make them a day ahead and store them in an airtight container. In addition, you can freeze them in the freezer for up to three months!

Try dipping them in chocolate and coating them in sprinkles for an even more festive look! Or place them on top of a cake as a pretty decoration!

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