How to Make French Kisses
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a clean, grease-free glass mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large egg whites and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1 cup (200g) of granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuously whisking on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Gently fold in 1 teaspoon of red food coloring (gel food coloring is recommended), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ cup (60g) of shredded sweetened coconut.
- Fold in the ingredients very gently to avoid deflating the meringue.
- Using a teaspoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each kiss.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and leave the French Kisses in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 ½ hours to allow them to cool slowly and crisp up.
