Ingredients for Meringue Christmas Trees

4 Egg Whites

1 tablespoon Butter Vanilla Emulsion flavoring. I use THIS kind (optional)

How to Make Christmas Tree Meringues

Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.

Prepare a baking sheet, covered in foil, and sprayed lightly with non-stick spray.

Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites for a few minutes on high speed until they are frothy.

Add the sugar into the frothy egg mixture in small amounts.

Continue to mix on high for 1 minute.

Add in the cream of tartar.

Add butter vanilla emulsion and green food coloring until desired shade is reached.

Continue to whip the mixture on high for 4-5 minutes until stiff peaks form (meaning that the meringue holds a form when the mixer is turned off).

Using an icing bag with a star shaped frosting tip, press the meringue mixture down onto the foil and gently swirl in a circular motion (like making soft serve ice cream).

Add Christmas colored sprinkles and a golden sprinkle on top.

Bake for 45 minutes or just before they begin to turn brown along the edges.

Let them cool completely (or eat them when they are a tiny bit warm!).

Store in an air tight container. Makes about 24 small trees.
