Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites room temperature
- Pinch of cream of tartar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup crushed conversation hearts put 2 ½ Tbsp in meringues
- 1 tsp champagne extract or pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 215 degrees
- In the bowl of a stand mixer using whisk attachment, beat egg whites on high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add in cream of tartar and beat for about 1 more minute.
- Add sugar and crushed conversation hearts a spoonful at a time and continue to beat until egg whites are glossy and stiff peaks are formed, about 3-5 more minutes.
- Draw heart shapes on a sheet of parchment paper fitted to baking sheet. Turn parchment paper over on pan (so ink from drawings is facing downward).
- Put meringue batter in a pastry bag with round tip. Pipe batter tracing heart shapes and completely filling in. Use a toothpick to clean up hearts and get rid of any lumps.
- Sprinkle remaining crushed conversation hearts over the top of the hearts.
- Bake at 215 degrees for about 40 minutes. Turn oven off and let meringues sit in oven for another hour to completely dry out.
