Meringue Pops are an easy to make treat that's fun for everyone! Customize them with different colors, flavorings, and edible decorations.

Ingredients

1/4 cup Meringue Powder
1/2 cup hot water (hot enough to create steam, but not boiling)
1-1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Directions

Making The Meringue

In a mixing bowl, dilute the meringue powder in the hot water.
Using a mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the meringue until a light foam forms.
Add sugar in three increments while still mixing and wait for the sugar to be completely combined each time.
Whip until firm but soft peaks form.
Divide the meringue into bowls and add color by folding it in. Use gel food coloring to make different colors depending on the theme of your meringue pops.
Preheat the oven to 250°

Making The Pops

Fill your tipless bags with the batter and pipe your spooky friends onto parchment paper.
To make sure the cookie pop stick will stay intact, pipe a small amount of batter onto the parchment paper to place the stick into before piping the rest of the pop, as you see Wil do in the video below.
Wil used piping tips to create different textures in the meringue, but you can do this without them if you'd like. Make sure to cut the opening of your tipless bag small enough to give you more control over where you're piping the batter. If the hole is too big, too much batter will come out at once.
Bake between 30-50 minutes and let dry overnight.
When the meringue is dry you can use colored royal icing, edible dusts and more to decorate the pops.

Recipe Note

The meringue pops will be good for up to 2 weeks if stored properly in an airtight bag or container.

Medeeah Alexander - December 2, 2022
When is the 2 tsp of vanilla extract added? It isn’t mentioned in the directions. Thank you!

The Cookie Countess replied:
Hi Medeeah! The 2 tsp is an optional step and can be added in when you’re dissolving the meringue powder in the hot water. The meringue powder we use (Genie’s Dream) already has a nice vanilla flavor to it, so we don’t always add extra vanilla but it’s totally up to you and your preferences 😊 Hope this helps!
