    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating continuously.

    2

    Once the meringue is glossy and firm, stir in the lemon juice. Divide the meringue into separate bowls if you want to create different colors.

    3

    Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small, circular shapes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    4

    Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 175°F (80°C) and bake/dry the meringues for 2-3 hours, or until they are completely hardened.

    5

    Let the meringue kisses cool completely, then carefully peel them off the parchment paper. Store in an airtight container in a dry place.
