Raspberry Rose Meringues

Yield: ~28 two-inch meringues   Ingredients
3 large egg whites, room temperature
pinch of salt
1 package (3 ounces) Raspberry Jell-O
1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries (optional)
1/4 cup (50 g) sugar
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) vanilla extract
Method
1. Preheat oven to 200°F (94°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Grind the sugar and freeze-dried raspberries in a food processor  until it reaches a powdery consistency. (If not using freeze-dried  raspberries, omit this step and add sugar on its own in step 3.)
3. Place the room temperature egg whites and salt in a grease-free  bowl of an electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Beat on medium  speed until frothy. Add the Jell-O and sugar mixture into the mixing  bowl in a steady stream, and turn the mixer speed to med-high, beating  until meringue is stiff, thick, and glossy — about 5 minutes.
4. Add the vanilla and mix until incorporated.
5. Place the meringue into a large pastry bag (such as 14”) fitted  with 1M pastry tip (or other desired open star tip) and pipe the roses  onto the baking sheets. Begin in the middle and, moving outwards, pipe 2  complete circles. Keep roses about 1 1/2” apart.
6. Bake for 2 hours, then turn off the oven and keep the trays in the oven overnight.
