Ingredients

  • 2 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Preheat oven to 175 degrees.

Place egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar in a heat-proof mixer bowl set over a pan of simmering water.

Whisk until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.

Transfer to a mixer, and beat with mixer on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes.

Divide meringue into batches, and tint each with food coloring as desired.

Transfer to pastry bags fitted with medium open star tips.

Pipe hearts (1/2 inch to 1 inch each) onto parchment-lined baking sheets.

Bake for 2 hours.

Turn oven off, and let meringues stand in over for 8 hours (or overnight).

Tips:

Meringues can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
