Making colorful meringues will delight your children, and you'll achieve perfectly vibrant meringues. This meringue recipe, where you combine egg whites and sugar and color it with food dye, is quite practical. Contrary to popular belief, making meringues at home is quite easy.

Ingredients for Colorful Meringues:
- Whites of 3 eggs
- 1 cup of granulated sugar

Instructions for Colorful Meringues:

1. Add a pinch of salt to the whites of 3 eggs and start whisking at low speed. Whisk until the egg whites thicken, which takes about 5 minutes.

2. One of the crucial tips for making meringue is to ensure that the egg whites are cold.

3. The egg whites will thicken and turn snowy white as you whisk. If you can turn the bowl upside down without any dripping and the whisked egg whites stay in place, then it's the right consistency.

4. Once you've reached the right consistency, gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar while continuing to whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.

5. In total, whisk for about 10 minutes, but don't add the sugar before the egg whites thicken.

6. The resulting meringue mixture is now ready. Divide it equally into 3 separate bowls and add approximately 4 drops of different food coloring to each bowl. Gently fold the mixture from bottom to top using a different spatula or spoon for each color, being careful not to deflate the foam. (We used 3 colors, but you can use a single color or different colored food dyes.)

7. Pipe the meringue dough into desired shapes, about the size of cookies, on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

How to Bake Meringues:

1. One of the most crucial aspects of the meringue recipe might be the baking stage. Pay attention here. Place the baking tray in a preheated oven at 100 degrees Celsius and bake for exactly 1 hour. Note that it's a low temperature, so bake for the full hour.

2. After baking, the meringue recipe is ready. Especially children will love these colorful meringues. They make a wonderful snack for tea time.

Tips and Important Points for Making Meringues:

While making colorful meringues is quite easy, if you don't follow the instructions carefully, there's a possibility of an unfortunate outcome for this bakery recipe. So, follow the steps precisely for a successful meringue recipe.

One important point is to be very careful when separating egg yolks and whites. Even a tiny bit of egg yolk in the whites can result in uncooked meringues. Another crucial point is to ensure that the bowls you use for whisking and mixing are completely dry. Even a drop of water can lead to unfavorable results.

We also made this recipe as plain meringues without color. You can take a look. Since store-bought meringues are already colorful, we presented this recipe with food coloring. You can also make a sugar-free meringue recipe without adding sugar, but keep in mind that it might lack some flavor.

This is the perfect recipe for making bakery-style meringues. Even those without much kitchen expertise can easily make this meringue recipe.
