Ingredients

4 Egg whites room temperature
½ tsp lemon juice
1 cup sugar granulated
Blue gel food coloring
Red sprinkles
Blue sprinkles
24 Lollipop Sticks

Instructions

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. Continue 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 the 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 for another 35 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
