Ingredients
2
large egg whites
½
cup
granulated sugar
1
teaspoon
vanilla bean powder
5
drops
food coloring
or as much as needed (optional)
Sprinkles
to decorate (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 225°F. Line two baking pans with parchment paper.
Beat egg whites on medium-high speed, adding sugar gradually over 3-5 minutes, until soft peaks form.
Add vanilla powder and gel food coloring, if using. Continue to beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
Transfer mixture to a piping bag. Pipe 1-inch heart shapes about 2 inches apart on parchment lined baking sheets. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
Bake for one hour. Turn oven off and leave oven door open to allow meringues to come to room temperature slowly (about 2 hours).
Once fully cooled, transfer meringues to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to three days.
