Description
Delightful and festive Meringue Christmas Trees that bring a touch of magic to your holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 100 g granulated sugar
- Green gel food coloring
- Sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, ensuring it incorporates fully before adding more (about 6-8 minutes total), until stiff peaks form.
- Add green gel food coloring and mix on low speed until evenly colored.
- Transfer meringue to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe three dollops on top of each other to form trees, decorating with sprinkles.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until the sides are dry and they lift easily from the parchment.
- Turn off the oven and let meringues cool inside for at least one hour.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
Use organic eggs for best flavor. Keep meringues in a moisture-free environment to maintain crispiness.
