Step-by-Step Instructions for Meringue Pops
  1. Preheat your oven to a low temperature of 200°F (95°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites, gradually increasing speed until soft peaks form (2 to 3 minutes).
  3. With the mixer running, slowly add the granulated sugar until stiff peaks are achieved (4 to 5 minutes).
  4. Divide the meringue into bowls, add gel food coloring and gently fold to create swirls.
  5. Pipe the colored meringue onto the prepared parchment in whimsical swirls or pops.
  6. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, keeping the door slightly ajar to let moisture escape.
  7. Turn off the oven and let the Meringue Pops cool inside with the door slightly open for about 30 minutes.
