Edible Christmas Tree Decorations

For the edible Christmas tree decorations, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff, gradually adding the sugar and a little of the lemon juice.

Preheat the oven to 120 °C.

To make the edible Christmas tree decorations a little more colorful, divide the mixture into 3 parts. The first part remains white. The other two portions can be lightly colored with the food coloring of your choice (e.g. pink, yellow, etc.). To do this, gently mix the food coloring with the beaten egg whites according to package directions.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill the beaten egg whites into a piping bag with a wide star nozzle and draw rings on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with colorful sprinkles as desired and bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness (note: the meringue rings should not turn brown, as brown Christmas tree decorations do not look very attractive).

Let the edible Christmas tree ornaments cool down and then tie a nice silk ribbon around each Meringue-Ringerl. Now you can decorate your Christmas tree with the homemade edible Christmas tree ornaments.

Preparation Tip:

Instead of food coloring, you can also use natural coloring agents such as cocoa, elderberry or raspberry syrup for the edible Christmas tree decorations.
