Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 250 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in a large clean dry bowl with a mixer on medium speed until foamy. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until thick and opaque, about 1 more minute. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, and beat until stiff shiny peaks form, about 5 more minutes.
- Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe about seventy 1-inch drops on the baking sheets, pulling the bag up to form a peak; leave space between each. Bake at 250 degrees F until dry and crisp, about 3 hours. Let cool completely on the baking sheets. Store in an airtight container in a dry place for up to 1 week.
- Combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Dip the bottoms of the meringues into the white chocolate, then dip in red sanding sugar; let set on parchment.

Steps:
- Line two large baking sheets with baking parchment. In a small bowl, mix both sugars together. In another small bowl, mix the jam with enough food colouring to create a vibrant red colour.
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, using electric beaters or a tabletop mixer. Add about a third of the sugar, whipping for 1 min or so, until stiff and glossy. Gradually add the remaining sugar until you have a glossy meringue that holds stiff peaks.
- Heat oven to 120C/100C fan/ gas 1/2. Turn your pastry bag inside out and, using a spoon, paint three lines of coloured jam from the top to almost the end of the bag. Fill with the meringue mix and twist the end to close.
- Holding the bag vertically over the tray, apply enough pressure to create a base, then quickly draw the bag upwards to create little points. The jam will give the meringues a stripy pattern as they pass through the bag.
- Bake in the oven for 1 hr or until the meringues sound hollow when you lift one and tap the base - they should have a crunchy shell and not be too chewy. Leave to cool in the oven with the door closed, then store in a plastic food bag or airtight container until ready to use.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with aluminum foil.
- Beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla and continue beating. Add the sugar 1 teaspoon at a time, beating about 30 seconds between additions. When all the sugar has been added, beat an additional 6 minutes. Egg whites should be very stiff, glossy, and extremely smooth, but not dry.
- Spoon the mixture into a large pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip and pipe out "kisses," leaving 1-inch spaces. Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the meringues are dry to the touch and can be lifted from the foil. Cool completely before storing in a cool dry place.
Tips:
- Use the freshest egg whites possible. Stale egg whites will not whip up as well and will result in a meringue that is not as light and airy.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature. Cold egg whites will not whip up as well as room temperature egg whites.
- Whip the egg whites slowly at first, then gradually increase the speed. This will help to prevent the egg whites from becoming grainy.
- Continue whipping the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy. Stiff peaks should form when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
- Add the sugar gradually, one tablespoon at a time. This will help to prevent the meringue from becoming too sweet or grainy.
- Bake the meringues at a low temperature for a long time. This will help to prevent the meringues from browning too much.
- Let the meringues cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent the meringues from becoming sticky.
Conclusion:
Meringues are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own or used to top other desserts. They are easy to make, but there are a few tips that you should follow to ensure that they turn out perfectly. With a little practice, you will be able to make meringue kisses that are light, airy, and delicious.
