Aladdin Inspired Dessert – Genie Themed Meringue Cookie
I created an Aladdin inspired dessert in preparation for the NEW Disney live action Aladdin movie coming to theatres May 2019. This genie themed dessert would be perfect for a viewing party or birthday.
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites – room temp
- 1/8 tsp salt
- ½ tsp cream of tarter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla

- Purple edible glitter or sanding sugar if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225.
- Line 2 baking sheets with silicon mats and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the egg whites, salt and cream of tarter.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture on high untilsoft peaks begin to form.
- Gradually add in the sugar a little bit at a time and mixing on high in between each addition. Mixture should have stiff peaks and sugar should be thouroughly dissolved.
- Fold in the vanilla extract and blue food coloring.
- Fill a large piping bag with mixture (or zip top bag with corner snipped off) pipe onto the prepared baking sheets.
- The meringues don’t spread so make sure you have enough room to bake them all at once.
- Bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven and leave the meringues in the oven to cool (about 2 hours)
