    Have you ever tried baking meringues? I've seen them in the bakery section of my super market and they are pretty pricey. Make them at home for a fraction of the cost with this Fall Meringue Recipe. In the past we have made Spring Meringues and now to celebrate the season, we decided to make Fall meringues. It's easy to give the traditional meringue recipe a Fall twist. Just add some food coloring and Fall themed sprinkles. These Fall Meringues make a great snack or dessert.

    Why these Fall Meringues are awesome

    • They melt in your mouth
    • You can switch up the food coloring to make them for a variety of occasions
    • Kids love them!

    Ingredients

    • egg whites
    • sugar
    • salt
    • cream of tartar
    • Red, Yellow, Green and Blue food coloring
    • Fall sprinkles

    How to make meringues

    To make these meringues you will need a mixer. I use my Kitchen Aid Mixer all the time and it is a must if you are making meringues.

    Meringues don't bake at a high heat. Instead they slowly bake at low heat. These meringues take two hours to cook in a 225 degree oven.

    The key to making meringues is to get the batter to form stiff glossy peaks while mixing. The meringue should look like this before you move on to the next step. When I was separating the eggs, I got the smallest bit of egg yolk in the whites. I tried to beat it with the sugar for the longest time and stiff peaks never formed. Your meringue will not stiffen if you even get a tiny bit of yolk in it.

    To make meringues in Fall colors, you'll need to divide the meringue into separate bowls (one for each colors you'll be making) and add a few drops of food coloring.

    You can scoop the meringue into a pastry bag and pipe it out onto a greased cookie sheet. If you do not have a pastry bag, you can scoop a heaping tablespoon of the meringue onto a baking sheet. You can also line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up.

    Since this meringue recipe doesn't spread out much, you can place them fairly close together on the cookie sheet. Add some Fall colored sprinkles for some extra seasonal flair!

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I store meringues?

    Store meringues in an airtight container with layers separated by parchment paper. You can store at room temperature for up to 5 days.

    Do I need a standing mixer to make meringues?

    I used a standing mixer with whisk attachment, but a hand mixer or electric mixer will work as well.

    Can I also make these meringues for Halloween?

    You can change up the meringue cookie recipe for Halloween by adding Halloween sprinkles instead of Fall sprinkles.

      Such lovely fall colors. I never knew you can eat these alone, I always thought meringue had to be on a pie or something. Thanks so much. Saving for later to make towards Halloween.
