Como fazer Valentine Meringue Hearts
- Cut a heart-shaped template from a 4 1/2-inch square piece of paper.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Trace 6 hearts onto the parchment paper using your template.
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is completely dissolved (rub a small amount between your fingers to check).
- Add a few drops of red food coloring to achieve a delicate pink hue (or your favorite color!).
- Spoon the meringue mixture onto the traced hearts, spreading it evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use a spoon to gently shape the meringue into heart forms.
- If desired, pipe a 3/4-inch high meringue border around each heart using a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 275°F (135°C) for 1 hour.
- Turn off the oven and let the meringues dry in the oven with the door slightly ajar for another hour. Do not open the door completely during this time.
- Remove the meringues from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Fill the cooled meringues with scoops of your favorite ice cream and top with fresh strawberries.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
