2

Prep your station

Before you dive into the meringue magic, make sure your kitchen is ready. Clean off your countertops and have all your ingredients and equipment handy. You're going to want everything within reach as you go through the steps of this enchanting recipe.

3

Whip up the meringue

In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they turn frothy. Gradually add in the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture. Once all the sugar is incorporated, increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form. Add the cream of tartar and mix for another minute.

4

Create mermaid swirls

Divide the meringue into three equal portions. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each portion, using a different color for each. Gently fold the colors into the meringue, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix, as you want those beautiful swirls to shine through.

5

Pipe the meringue mists

Fit your piping bag with a star tip and fill it with the colorful mermaid meringue mixture. Hold the bag vertically and pipe small mounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Start from the center and swirl outwards to create a mist-like shape. Sprinkle a touch of edible glitter on top for a magical finishing touch.

6

Bake and cool

Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and bake the meringue mists for about 2 hours, or until they are crisp on the outside. Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely. This slow cooling process will help achieve that ethereal texture.

7

Time to enchant

Once the meringue mists are cooled, it's time to enchant your taste buds! Serve them as they are or use them to add a touch of magic to your favorite desserts. These delightful treats are perfect for birthday parties, tea time, or any gathering that needs a sprinkle of mermaid charm!
