Ghost Meringues
These ghost meringues are bound to impress at any Halloween party or celebration.
Equipment
- Cookie sheet
- Electric Mixer
- Foil
- Non-stick spray
- Icing bag with a large round tip
Ingredients
- 4 Egg Whites
- ½ teaspoon Cream of Tartar
- 1 cup Sugar
- Black Decorating Icing Gel
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225℉
- Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites for a few minutes on high speed until they become frothy (you will see lots of little bubbles).
- Next, add your sugar in small amounts.
- Finally, mix in the cream of tartar.
- Continue to whip the mixture until it gets stiff (meaning that it holds a shape when stopped).
- Prepare your baking sheet with a layer of foil covered with non-stick spray.
- Place the meringue mixture into an icing bag.
- Using your icing bag and a large round icing tip, continually press the meringue mixture directly down onto the foil. Press down and lift up to create layered stacks for each ghost (release the pressure just a tiny bit, pulling up on your frosting bag at the same time in between each layer). *See video for demonstration*
- Bake them for about 45 minutes or until the tops become a little brown.
- Once they are completely cooled, they will harden and be ready to decorate with black gel frosting!
- Add eyes and mouths to your ghost (or create silly faces!).
- Store in an air tight container.
