Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 215 degrees F (102 degrees C) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In a bowl (glass, metal, or ceramic), use an electric mixer on high speed to beat the egg whites, vanilla extract, and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.

  3. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat, until stiff peaks form. To ensure the sugar has dissolved, test the mixture between your fingers. If it feels gritty, keep beating until smooth.

  4. Spoon the egg white mixture into a piping bag. Add food coloring in three even sections, pushing them down the sides of the bag with a butter knife.

  5. Pipe the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets in 1 1/2-inch 'poop'-shaped spirals. Place them close together, as they will not expand. If the meringues appear too pale, add more color to the piping bag. Sprinkle edible glitter over the meringues.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and set.

  7. Alternatively, you can use a plastic sandwich bag with the corner cut off to pipe the meringue mixture.

  8. Feel free to use any food coloring of your choice.
