Whip up some meringue magic

In a mixing bowl, add 4 egg whites and whisk until foamy. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar while whisking continuously until stiff peaks form. The peaks should be so sturdy, they could win a bodybuilding competition.

Add mermaid flair

Gently fold in a few drops of blue food coloring until your meringue mixture turns into a stunning shade of mermaid tail blue. Don't be scared to get your hands dirty, just remember not to accidentally turn yourself into a mermaid. We want edible shells, not edible humans!

Pipe the enchantment

Aim for shell shapes, but don't worry if they end up looking more like seahorses or singing lobsters. That's the beauty of mermaid magic!

Bake them to perfection

Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and bake the meringue shells for about 2 hours, or until they are dry and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as we don't want them to become too toasted and end up with a sunburn!
