Notes

  • Store to an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
  • Egg whites are the base of our meringues. They’ll develop more air and become lighter if your egg whites are at room temperature but they don’t have to be!
  • Granulated sugar sweetens the meringues and helps stabilize the egg whites.
  • Vanilla will enhance the sweetness of the meringues and add a subtle vanilla flavor.
  • find food markers in most craft stores or on amazon. Make your own by mixing ¼ teaspoon black food coloring and 1 tablespoon of vodka and blend together thoroughly.
