Meringue Ingredients
  • 2 large egg whites, room temperature Ensure they’re at room temperature for the best results.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until frothy.
  3. Gradually sprinkle in sugar, mixing well after each addition until the mixture holds stiff peaks.
  4. Add a few drops of green gel food coloring and mix gently until just combined.
Piping and Baking
