If you flavor the Christmas snow meringues with a little mint extract and decorate them with strips of red dye, you will have this gem that not only looks beautiful but also tastes great.

Ingredients:

• 3 room-temperature egg whites

Method:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, extract, and salt on medium speed until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add sugar 1 tablespoon, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form.
• Using a brush, add stripes to the inside of a plastic decorator bag fitted with a large star or round tip.
• Fill the bag with the whipped mixture and spread the meringues on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 90 minutes or until the meringues are set.
• Turn off the oven and leave the oven door slightly open for 60 minutes.
