This easy, delicious, Strawberry Meringue Roses recipe is the perfect addition for Mother’s Day, a Kentucky Derby Party or any Springtime Celebration!
It’s Deanna from Mirabelle Creations and I’m so excited to share this fun spring dessert – Strawberry Meringue Roses. I’m a lifelong Kentucky gal, so one of my favorite days of the year is the first Saturday in May – Derby Day! The Kentucky Derby is also known as the Run for the Roses.
So, whether you are hosting full blown Derby bash (download free Derby Party Printable Supplies) or will be watching the race with family at home, you can whip up a batch of these little meringue roses to nosh on while rooting for your favorite horse.
Strawberry Meringue Roses recipe (adapted from Food Network)
- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 6 tablespoons seedless strawberry preserves 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract
- 2 drops red or pink food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 215 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. (Do not skip this or your meringues will stick to baking sheet).
Beat egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, preserves, extract and food coloring until frothy. With mixer running, slowly add powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks have formed.
Fit pastry bag with a large star tip. Fill pastry bag with mixture. Pipe round roses on lined baking sheet by piping 2 inch spirals starting from the center and rotating outwards.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Turn off oven and open door. Let meringues dry in the oven for about 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
