Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Fit a large round pastry tip into a pastry bag. Place the bag, tip side down, in a large, tall cup and fold the edges over the rim to make filling easier.
- 2
Grind the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor. Measure out 3 tablespoons of strawberry powder. Reserve any extra for dusting the plate or another use.
- 3
Whisk the egg whites and sugar in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the cream of tartar. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until it begins to foam, then on high speed until glossy, stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Fold in 3 tablespoons strawberry powder, milk powder, and vanilla.
- 4
Brush stripes of red gel food coloring (if using) inside the pastry bag. Carefully fill the pastry bag with the meringue mixture. Dab the corners of a baking sheet with meringue, then line it with parchment paper (the dabs keep the paper in place).
- 5
Pipe quarter-size meringue dollops onto the baking sheet, pulling the bag straight up and spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- 6
Bake in the preheated oven until the meringues are firm and lift easily from the parchment, 60 to 75 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
