Method
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until frothy.
- Sprinkle in one spoonful of sugar at a time, mixing well after each addition until stiff peaks form.
- Add a few drops of green gel food colouring to the meringue and mix gently until evenly combined.
- Transfer the coloured meringue into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe three dollops on top of each other to form a tree shape. Decorate with sprinkles.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the sides are dry and the bottoms easily peel away from the parchment.
- After baking, turn off the oven and cool the meringues inside overnight or let them cool for about an hour with the oven door cracked.
- Store the meringue Christmas trees in an airtight container.
