Ingredients

• 4 Egg Whites
• 1/4 cup stevia
• 1/4 TSP Salt
• 1/4 TSP Cream of Tarter
• Green gel food colouring
• Parchment Paper
• Pipping Bag
• Large Round Tip
• Rainbow sprinkles

Method

1. Preheat oven to 150-170 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer separate egg yolks from egg whites. Let the eggs come to room temp.
2. Beat eggs until white and foamy. Mix in 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp cream of tarter until soft peaks form.
3. Set timer for 7 minutes. Slowly add in stevia a bit at a time taking the entire 7 minutes to do so.
4. Put the piping bag upright in a glass and wrap the plastic over the sides. Mix in the food colouring and pour into piping bag
5. On a lined baking tray with parchment paper, pipe dots of meringue mixture in rows.
6. Layer two dots of meringue mixture onto the first so it is a tiered shape with three levels.
7. Sprinkle some coloured sprinkles over each tree.
8. Now bake at a very low heat for about one hour to until they are nice and crisp. Make sure they don’t brown too much. If the temperature is too high they will cook on the outside too quickly and the inside will remain gooey.
9. Take out, leave to sit for an hour and enjoy!
