Ingredients
  

For the Meringue Base
  • 4 large Egg Whites Ensure they're at room temperature
  • 200 grams Caster Sugar Avoid regular granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cream of Tartar Can substitute with lemon juice or vinegar
For the Flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Or use Peppermint Extract for a festive twist
For Color and Decoration
  • 3 drops Green Food Coloring Gel Use gel for minimal liquid impact
  • 30 grams Red, Green, and White Sprinkles For decorating the meringues

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • handheld or stand mixer
  • piping bag
  • star-shaped nozzle
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 100°C (210°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until frothy (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Gradually add half of the caster sugar and the cream of tartar to the egg whites, continuing to whisk until glossy.
  4. Add the remaining sugar and whip on medium-high until stiff peaks form (about 6-8 minutes).
  5. Check for smoothness; the meringue should be fluffy without graininess.
  6. Fit a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe star-shaped mounds onto the prepared sheets.
  7. Sprinkle with red, green, and white decorations before baking.
  8. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let cool inside overnight.
  9. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
