These Christmas wreath meringues make beautiful festive decorations for Christmas cakes, cookies and desserts!

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 120C/100C(fan)/gas mark ½. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  2. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the sugar, a spoonful at a time, continuing to whisk until the meringue is stiff and glossy. Fold in a little green food colouring before popping the mixture in a piping bag.
  3. Pipe your Christmas wreaths onto the baking sheets. Scatter with sprinkles and bake in the oven for 1 hour. After an hour has passed, turn the oven off but leave the meringues in the oven for a further 60 minutes (preferably overnight).
  4. When the meringues are dry, use the red fondant icing to make a bow for each wreath. Use to decorate cakes and cookies, or enjoy just as they are.
