3/4 cup sugar

Directions

~Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

~Preheat oven to 200°. Add vanilla and cream of tartar to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, one tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form. Remove 1/4 cup and tint pink. Lightly swirl pink mixture into remaining meringue.
