I love eating meringue! It's so fluffy and yummy. These Patriotic Meringue Pops are perfect for the 4th of July or Memorial Day with their red and blue color scheme.
In addition to the ingredients, you'll need a Wilton 1M piping tip to pipe the large meringue pattern on the pops, parchment paper, and a piping bag.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and place 12 lollipop sticks on top. Set aside.
Using a stand electric mixer, start beating egg whites and lemon juice on low speed. Slowly add granulated sugar and increase speed to high. Allow to mix for 10 - 15 minutes, until mixture is white and forms stiff peaks.
Color the meringue with blue gel food coloring and mix until completely tinted.
Scoop blue meringue into a piping bag with Wilton icing tip #1M attached. On your lined baking sheet, pipe out meringue directly on lollipop sticks, in a back and forth motion, covering about ¼ of the lollipop stick.
Top off each piped-out meringue with red and blue sprinkles. Bake for 2 hours. Once 2 hours is up, turn off the heat and leave in the oven the meringue for another 35 minutes. Give 5 minutes to cool down before serving.
