Egg whites: The eggs are the base of these meringues. Using room temperature eggs is a must because having them at room temp. helps them to whip up into a higher volume. Also when separating the eggs, make sure you don’t get any of the yolks in there.

White sugar: Another very important ingredient. Adding the sugar a Tbsp. at a time assures that the sugar dissolves. 

Cream of Tartar: For only a 1/4 tsp. it does a lot! It helps to keep the mixture fluffy.

Vanilla extract: We like vanilla extract, but some other flavorings could be an almond extract, mint extract, or even peppermint extract!

Salt: A little bit of salt just makes life better!

Green gel food coloring: We like using gel because it has a more concentrated color rather than the normal food dye. Also as we said earlier, we used a Wilton gel food coloring, called “green moss.”

Powdered Sugar: It’s only natural to dust on some powdered sugar to make it look like snow! Plus, you get to have more sugar on it which is a win-win for us. It just makes it look so magical!
