Unicorn Poop Meringue Recipe

This past weekend we celebrated Zoë’s birthday, how is my baby 3 already?! I asked her what kind of party she wanted to have and she responded “Unicorn and ponies” so that was the theme…a pony and unicorn filled birthday. Everyone came dressed in unicorn colours and we had a feast of treats that included unicorn cake, popcorn and my personal favourite…”unicorn poop” meringues! They were a huge hit with everyone so I thought I’d share the recipe so you could give them a try.

First off, let me just say that if you’re making meringues (or doing any baking for that matter) investing in a good mixer is a must! I use the Kitchen Aid Artisan® Mini Stand Mixer. It’s smaller than the classic mixer but offers the same power and functionality as the original and it still fits all standard KitchenAid attachments which is great. Baking aside though, we also use it for meal prep and one of our favourite attachments is the Fresh Prep Slicer and Shredder. It makes meal prep a breeze by adding freshly sliced or shredded ingredients to salads, entrees and appetizers so if you’re in the market for a good mixer, I highly recommend investing in this one.
