Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy.
- Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while beating on high speed until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.

- Divide the meringue into separate bowls and add food coloring to each, swirling to create a marbled effect.
- Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe swirls onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and can easily be lifted off the parchment.
