Sugar Plum Fairy Nutcracker Parties are the sweetest and we are so excited to share this fun holiday theme with you today! We are sharing a purple swirl meringue kiss recipe and an adorable craft: DIYlollipop holiday ornaments using upcycled egg carton cups.

Meringues make the perfect treats for a Sugar Plum Fairy Nutcracker themed party. They are so dainty and so delicious. I love the fact you can create the swirls in any color to match your party decor. I obviously decided on the purple to match those purple Nellie’s Free Range Egg cartons that we always have stocked in our fridge!

To make the perfect meringues, always make sure the eggs are fresh and free range!

At Nellie’s, the hens are raised on small, Certified Humane® Free Range farms, which means the hens spend their days outside in the sunshine. A better life for the hens means that you and your family can  count on their gold standard of quality and nutrition when it comes to feeding your family this holiday season!

Ready to make your own delicious meringues?

PURPLE SWIRL MERINGUES

INGREDIENTS:

Yield: 50 meringues

  • 6 oz Nellie’s Free Range Eggs, whites only, room temp (the whites of about 6 large eggs) 
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla 
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar or large pinch of cream of tartar
  • Gel food coloring
  • Decorating bag
  • Star tip
  • Thin brush

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Heat oven to 200 degrees F.
  2. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Place egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk and beat on high speed until soft peaks begin to form. With the mixer on medium, gradually add in sugar and then vanilla and vinegar. Increase speed once all ingredients are added and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. 
  4. Using a small paintbrush, paint 3 vertical stripes of food coloring inside a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Note: You can add food coloring to the meringue and gently fold it in instead.
  5. Fill bag with meringue, and pipe 1 3/4-inch swirly shapes, 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. As you finish piping each shape, apply less pressure to pastry bag, and swirl the tip off in a circular motion.
  6. Bake meringues until crisp on the outside but still soft inside, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Bring the theme to life by creating a festive party scene using a colorful fringe backdrop, coordinating balloon garland, peppermint and candy cane balloons in pastel colors. Let’s not forget the tinsel! Adding a Christmas tree to your party set up is a plus!
