Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0 as needed Gel or liquid food coloring (color of choice)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Ensure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of grease for optimal meringue volume.
Step 3
In the mixing bowl, add the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt. Use an electric mixer on low speed to start whisking.
Step 4
Once frothy, increase the mixer speed to medium, and gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until fully incorporated.
Step 5
When the meringue begins to thicken and form soft peaks, sift in the powdered sugar, then continue mixing on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Step 6
Gently fold in the vanilla extract without deflating the meringue.
Step 7
Using a toothpick or skewer, add a small amount of gel or liquid food coloring to the meringue in a few random streaks. Avoid overmixing to maintain the marbled effect.
Step 8
Spoon or pipe the meringue onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, creating shapes of your choice (about 2 inches in diameter each). Leave some space between the meringues.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, then turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside completely to maintain their chewy texture.
Step 10
Once cooled, store the marbled meringues in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or serve immediately and enjoy!
