Como fazer Meringue Candy Canes

Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Position oven racks in the middle of the oven.
Prepare two large pastry bags. Fit one with a ½ inch round tip and the other with a medium round tip.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly trace 36 candy cane shapes (2-2 ½ inches long) backward onto the parchment paper, using a pencil or food-safe marker. Flip the paper over.
In a medium-sized bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt with an electric mixer until foamy.
Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. This will take several minutes.
Beat in the vanilla extract.
Gently remove ½ cup of the meringue to a separate bowl.
Tint the reserved meringue pink using gel food coloring. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach your desired shade.
Transfer the white meringue to the large pastry bag and the pink meringue to the medium pastry bag.
Fill in the traced candy cane outlines on the parchment paper with the white meringue using the pastry bag.
Pipe pink stripes across the white meringue canes using the second pastry bag.
Bake for 75-80 minutes, or until the meringues are crisp and dry to the touch.
Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool slowly.
Carefully remove the candy canes from the baking sheets using a metal spatula and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Handle gently as they will be delicate.
