Ingredients
Scale
- 4 egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup sugar
- food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add egg whites and cream of tartar to a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer), and whisk on medium speed, slowing adding sugar. Turn the mixer to medium-high speed and continue whisking until the egg whites turn into stiff and glossy white meringue. About 7 minutes.
- Color the meringue. Use a spatula to separate the mixture: Put 1/3 into each of the smaller bowls and leave 1/3 in the mixing bowl. Add a drop or two of food coloring and very gently stir until the color looks well blended.
- Use the spatula to scoop out the 2 colored meringue mixtures, carefully placing them back into the same bowl with the white mixture. With the spatula, draw two circles around the mixing bowl cutting through all the colors to make swirls. Use the ice cream scoop to drop meringues on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 minutes in the oven. Turn the oven off and let the meringues cool for another 50 minutes.
