Ingredients
  

  • 4 large egg whites at room temperature
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 oz Jello powder one small box, any flavor

Equipment

  • 1 Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer
  • 2 Baking Sheets
  • 1 Piping bag and tip

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a completely clean, dry bowl of a stand mixer, beat the room temperature egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until foamy.
  3. With the mixer running, add the granulated sugar one tablespoon at a time, waiting about 30 seconds between each addition until fully incorporated.
  4. Increase mixer speed to high and beat until the meringue is thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks.
  5. Gently fold in the Jello powder with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag with a large star tip. Pipe 1.5-inch kisses onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, until the meringues are dry to the touch and lift easily from the parchment.
  8. Turn off the oven, prop the door open, and allow the meringues to cool completely inside the oven for at least 1 hour to prevent cracking.

Notes

Tip 1: For the best results, bake on a day with low humidity. Moisture is the enemy of crisp meringues.
Tip 2: Ensure your mixing bowl and utensils are completely free of any fat or grease, as this will prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
Tip 3: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
