Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (assorted colors)
- Edible glitter (assorted colors)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean and dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture. Increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the cream of tartar and vanilla extract, and beat for an additional 2 minutes until well combined.
- Divide the meringue mixture into separate bowls, depending on how many colors you want to use. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and gently fold until the color is evenly distributed.
- Transfer each colored meringue into a separate piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Pipe small swirls or kisses onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Each meringue should be about 1 inch in diameter.
- Sprinkle edible glitter over the piped meringues to add a touch of magic.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the meringues are firm and dry to the touch. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even baking.
- Once baked, remove the meringues from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Store the Magical Unicorn Poop Meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy the magical delight!
