Pink Party Meringues
Description
Light and airy, fat free and easy to make, meringues are always a hit with both children and adults alike. (Kids love to make & decorate these with you, too !)
You can serve them with afternoon tea, or accompanied by freshly whipped cream (or ice cream) and fresh fruit for a more decadent dessert. They’re also great to pack into school lunch boxes or to take with you when you’re going on a long car journey.
I added a drop of red food colouring to make these into pink meringues, baked them in paper cup cases & sprinkled them with cup cake decorations for a festive, party feel !
