1

Whip it, whip it good!

Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Now, grab a clean mixing bowl and add 4 egg whites (eggcellent!), 1 cup of superfine sugar, and a pinch of cream of tartar. Get your mixer and whisk on high speed until stiff glossy peaks form. This might take around 10 minutes, but it's worth the wait!

Berry delightful

Time for some berry magic! Take a small bowl and mash 1/2 cup of your favorite berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries - you pick!). Add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and mix well. Set this luscious berry mixture aside, it will be the star of our meringue show!

Swirl it like you mean it

Now, spoon approximately half of the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe small swirls (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave space between each swirl for the meringues to expand. Repeat this swirling magic with the remaining meringue.

Berry center stage

Get those berry centers ready to shine! Using a smaller piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe a small amount of the berry mixture onto the center of each meringue swirl. Oh, the anticipation!

5

Let's bake the magic

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and let the meringue kisses work their sweet magic for about 1.5 to 2 hours. They should be crisp and dry on the outside, but still soft and chewy on the inside. That's the secret!

6

Cool, calm, and collect

Once the baking is complete, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the meringue kisses cool completely. This might be the hardest part - resisting the urge to gobble them up right away!
