Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cream of tartar and mix on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, around 2-3 minutes more.
Reduce speed to medium and gradually incorporate the granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
Gently mix in the vanilla extract with a spatula.
Stripe a piping bag with gel food coloring, fill it with meringue, and pipe whimsical twist shapes onto baking sheets.
Bake for 75-90 minutes until dry and crisp to the touch, then turn off the oven and leave them inside to cool.
After cooling, gently remove the meringue twists from parchment paper and serve.
