Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to a gentle 175°F (80°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, combine egg whites, granulated sugar, and cream of tartar over simmering water. Whisk for about 7 minutes until warm and sugar is dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice, and beat on high for 7 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  4. Divide the meringue into two portions. Tint two-thirds with orange gel food coloring, and leave the rest white.
  5. Pipe the orange meringue onto the baking sheet to form small pumpkin shapes, and pipe green meringue for stems and leaves.
  6. Bake for 2 hours, then turn off the oven and leave meringues inside for 4 hours.
  7. Once cooled, remove them from the baking sheet gently.
