3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Weather Cloud Meringues

1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed. Add the cream of tartar once they become frothy.
3. Gradually add sugar one tablespoon at a time while continuing to whisk. Whisk until the mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks and the sugar is fully dissolved.
4. Add vanilla extract and gently fold in any food coloring or edible glitter for stormy effects.
5. Spoon or pipe the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming cloud shapes or peaks. For a weather-inspired look, try creating small, fluffy mounds.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Once done, turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside for a couple of hours or overnight.

Tips for success include ensuring no yolk contaminates the egg whites and using a clean bowl. For more ideas on creative desserts, visit other weather-themed desserts.
