Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 120°C (250°F). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat the egg whites and salt with a mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat on high speed, adding sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, then add the extract or zest. Continue beating until the mixture is thick and holds its shape, about 6 minutes.
Step 2
• For colored meringues, add food coloring to the egg mixture, or use a brush to color it. For chocolate meringues, add chocolate shavings to the egg mixture.
Step 3
• Fill a pastry bag with the egg mixture and pipe them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 5 cm apart. Sprinkle some of the meringues with colored sugar. Bake the meringues in the oven for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let them rest in the oven to dry, about 2 hours. Sprinkle some of the meringues with confetti, and drizzle melted chocolate over others.
