Meringue lollipops are really easy to make and taste amazing.

We love that you can use whatever food coloring and sprinkles you like to theme them for a party.

You can make them pink or blue for a baby shower, red and green for Christmas, or pastel for Easter. You can also customize them for a birthday party theme.

They're also great as an edible gift! Just wrap them in cellophane or a box, with a pretty bow.

Ingredients

• Egg whites - ensure there is absolutely no yolk in the whites. Be sure to crack each egg into a small bowl before adding to the stand mixer, to ensure any yolk breakage doesn't spoil the whole batch.
• Granulated white sugar - to sweeten the meringue and help with the structure.
• Vanilla extract: This adds extra flavor. Try it with almond, coconut, peppermint or other flavors instead!
• Gel food coloring - I've used purple, pink and green, but you can use any colors that you like!
• Sprinkles - Use whichever variety you like!

Tools:

• Baking parchment paper or a Silpat
• Lollipop sticks
• Large star nozzle
• Piping bags

Instructions

If you're wondering how to make this fun meringue lollipop recipe, don't worry, it's easy!

Just follow this step-by-step photo tutorial. Then scroll down to the recipe card for the full ingredients list and recipe method.

Add the room-temperature egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl if using a hand-held electric mixer).

Whisk until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, whisking well between each addition. Whisk until stiff peaks form.

If using 3 gel colors, divide the egg whites into 3 bowls and gently fold in a few drops of coloring to get the desired color. For 2 colors, divide into 2 bowls etc... Use a metal spoon and ensure it is grease-free.

Spoon some of each meringue color, one color on each side, into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.

Pipe in 2" circles onto the baking sheet lined with baking parchment or a silpat, starting from the center.

Insert lollipop sticks into each circle of meringue. Decorate each circle with sprinkles.

NOTE: DO NOT open the oven door during or after baking or the meringues could crack or deflate.

Bake the meringues for 1 hour at 200°F (95°C), then turn off the oven but don't open the door. Let the oven cool down for 2 hours before opening the door and removing the meringue lollipops.

Variations

• Try swapping the vanilla extract for another flavor, such as coconut, almond, or peppermint.
• Use different gel food colorings for a totally different look.
• Use fun sprinkles.
• Try piping your meringues into different shapes.

Notes

• DO NOT open the oven door during or after baking or the meringues could crack or deflate.
• Ensure your bowl and beaters are very clean before beating the egg whites. Any grease at all can stop them from forming peaks.
• It's best to use a glass or stainless steel bowl since plastic can have grease hidden in scratches and stop the eggs from whipping properly.
• Make sure that there are no egg yolks in the egg whites.
• Let the egg whites come up to room temperature before whisking.
• Use a stand mixer or electric hand mixer to beat the egg whites.
• Do not open the door when the meringues are baking or cooling, otherwise, they could deflate.
• If you can only use a plastic bowl, wipe it out with a tiny bit of vinegar before whisking the eggs.
