- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing until you reach stiff peaks.
- Gently fold in the green gel food coloring until the mixture is a vibrant green.
- Transfer the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe three dollops on top of each other, decreasing in size to create mini tree shapes.
- Place your piped meringues in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until they lift cleanly from the parchment paper.
- Once baking is complete, leave the meringues inside the oven to cool overnight or crack the door and cool for about an hour.
