You can either source bottled egg whites for convenience or separate the egg whites from the egg yolks, making sure that no trace of egg yolk gets mixed into the egg whites. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sugar &#8211; <\/strong>Granulated sugar or castor sugar works great for making meringues. Avoid brown sugar as this will discolor the bright white meringues. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Food Coloring &#8211; <\/strong>You'll need red, black, and pink water-based gel food coloring to decorate these Santa Claus meringues. Any brand will do as long as the quality is good.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEPARATE EGG WHITES AND EGG YOLKS LIKE A PRO!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It's really important to not get any bits of egg yolk into the separated egg whites when making meringues or pavlova. The egg whites won't whip properly if there are any traces of egg yolks in the mixture which means that you won't have any volume in the meringues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, how do we separate egg whites from egg yolks? I've listed three easy methods that you can try:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method 1:<\/strong> Gently crack an egg open in half over a bowl and carefully transfer the egg yolk between the two eggshell halves while allowing the egg white to drip down into the bowl below. Continue to do this until you are left only with the separate egg yolk in the eggshell, and then store the egg yolk separately. Repeat this with as many eggs as a recipe calls for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method 2:<\/strong> Crack an egg open and place the entire egg (both egg white and egg yolk) into a clean bowl. Using clean hands, gently scoop up the egg yolk with one hand and open your fingers wide enough for the egg white to drop into the bowl below without the egg yolk slipping through. Move the egg yolk around your semi-open fingers until all of the egg white has collected in the bowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method 3:<\/strong> You can opt to use a tool, such as an egg separator which attaches to the side of the bowl. The slits in the spoon-shaped tool allow the egg white to drip into the bowl while the egg yolk remains behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If all else fails, or if you want added convenience, go ahead and purchase a bottle of egg whites or meringue powder to make your meringues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/part-1-inprocess-collage-for-santa-meringues.jpg\" alt=\"In-process recipe steps to make Santa Claus meringues.\" class=\"wp-image-94214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/part-1-inprocess-collage-for-santa-meringues.jpg 800w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/part-1-inprocess-collage-for-santa-meringues-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/part-1-inprocess-collage-for-santa-meringues-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/part-1-inprocess-collage-for-santa-meringues-150x188.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/part-2-inprocess-collage-for-santa-meringues.jpg\" alt=\"In-process recipe steps to making Santa Claus meringues.\" class=\"wp-image-94212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/part-2-inprocess-collage-for-santa-meringues.jpg 800w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/part-2-inprocess-collage-for-santa-meringues-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/part-2-inprocess-collage-for-santa-meringues-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/part-2-inprocess-collage-for-santa-meringues-150x188.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IS HEATING THE MERINGUE MIXTURE NECESSARY?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heating egg whites with sugar helps the sugar to dissolve fully to create that glossy shine and texture. It's also a good way to kill salmonella and the heat also reacts with the protein found in egg whites which results in a more stable meringue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having said that, the French meringue method doesn't call for heating the sugar and egg whites at all, but rather whips the ingredients together until the sugar has fully dissolved. The outcome is a lot lighter and more unstable in structure which is why I recommend the heating method instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-kb-palette-10-background-color

It yields a soft and creamy texture that is the most stable of the three and doesn't require baking. <br\/><br\/><strong>Swiss meringue<\/strong> uses the double-boiling method to heat the egg whites with the sugar and creates a marshmallow-like taste and texture. This is the method used in this Santa Claus meringues recipe.<br\/><br\/><strong>French meringue<\/strong> is the lightest and least stable meringue that doesn't use any heat, simply mixing the ingredients together and baking. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1701538532269\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">HOW LONG DO MINI MERINGUES KEEP?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Mini meringues typically last for 1-3 weeks when stored correctly at room temperature in an airtight container. Undecorated mini meringues can also be stored for longer in the freezer, about 1 month. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1701538564049\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">DO I NEED CREAM OF TARTAR FOR MERINGUE?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not in this recipe. The heating of the sugar and egg whites create enough stability in the meringue mixture for the piped and baked meringues to hold their shape. <br\/><br\/>Some meringue recipes call for acidic ingredients, such as cream of tartar, lemon juice, or white vinegar, to better stabilize the egg whites when whipped. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-7-background-color
