4th of July Meringue Pops
Equipment
- Large glass mixing bowl
- Hand Mixer
- 16 inch piping bags
- Round Decorating Tip 2A (3 needed)
- Wilton Baking Sheet
- Wilton Treat Sticks
Ingredients
- ⅛ cup Wilton Meringue Powder
- ¼ cup water
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Blue and Red Icing Colors
- White Nonpareil Sprinkles
- Silver Edible Glitter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 255 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In the glass bowl, add the meringue powder and water and mix on medium until frothy. Add the vanilla and mix until soft peaks form.
- Slowly add the sugar, gradually mixing for about 10 seconds on medium in between each addition.
- Once all the sugar has been added, mix on high for 2-5 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- Since were making flags, we’ll need to separate the meringue to get the red, white and blue colors.
- Divide the meringue batter into three equal portions. Add about a tablespoon of blue gel coloring to one portion and a tablespoon of red gel coloring to another portion and mix well. Leave the remaining portion white.
- Prepare three piping bags with tip 2A. Fill bags separately with blue, red and white meringue batter.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pipe a small dot of blue meringue and set treat stick inside. Pipe the blue square of the American Flag on the stick.
- With the bags of the red and white meringue, pipe alternating lines to resemble the flag-making sure to connect each line to each other and the blue square.
- Top with white nonpareils on the blue to resemble the stars of the flag.
- Bake for about 30-35minutes and allow to cool completely.
- Top with silver edible glitter and enjoy!
