Ingredients
- 2 egg whites room temperature
- 85 g granulated sugar or castor sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- Gel food coloring optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°F/93°C.
- Line two large baking sheets (18" by 13") with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a clean stand mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites (at medium speed) with cream of tartar until frothy.
- Increase the speed and gradually add half of the sugar.
- Once the meringue reaches soft peaks, add remaining sugar over next few minutes, and continue beating until stiff peaks form and the meringue is glossy, shiny and tripled in volume, at least 10 minutes.
- Fold in the peppermint extract, taking care not to deflate the meringue.
- Prepare a piping bag fitted with a piping tip. (You can use a round tip or star tip).
- If coloring the meringue, smear small streaks of food coloring gel to the inside of the piping bag.
- Transfer the meringue into the piping bag and pipe desired shapes onto the baking sheets.
- Bake at 200°F/93°C for 2 hours, or until firm, dry and can be lifted off the baking sheet without sticking. Turn off the oven and let the meringues dry overnight.
- Store the peppermint meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
