Ingredients

The following ingredients have 36 Servings
  • 4 medium egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon of white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar (processed (see notes))
  • 3 tablespoons of jello powder mix (see notes)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat your egg whites on high for about 30 seconds until they are foamy.
  • Turn down to medium and add the vinegar and corn starch. Beat for another minute or so. Look for soft peaks beginning to form.
  • As the beater is still running, add the sugar slowly in a constant, steady stream.
  • Turn the mixer back up and beat for 4-5 minutes or until you see stiff peaks formed.
  • Now, either leave as is, or divide in half or thirds. (see notes)
  • Add the appropriate amount of jello powder as suggested in notes. and beat each mixture until blended (took about 30-45 seconds)
  • Using parchment paper (because it truly helps with sticking - or not sticking in this case), drop your meringue in spoonfuls on the parchment paper. If you feel like being fancy, go ahead and fill a piping bag and go to down being decorative. We didn't care so we made it as is.
  • Place your baking sheet in your preheated 200 degree oven.
  • Cook for 90 minutes. Turn oven off at that point and allow them to remain in the oven for several more hours or overnight (we usually do them overnight)
  • These store beautifully in airtight containers. Enjoy!
