EQUIPMENT
- Plain Piping Tip
- 14 Inch Piping Bags
- Teflon Baking Sheet
- Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer
INGREDIENTS
- 150 g (5.3 oz) egg whites fresh or carton egg whites
- 300 g (10.6 oz) caster sugar also known as superfine sugar
- gel food color Americolor Sky Blue
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (100°C).
- Combine egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl. Stir well.
- Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir continuously until the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start on medium speed and whip to soft peaks.
- Add a few drops of Americolor Sky Blue gel color. Increase the speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Dab a small amount of the meringue mixture onto the corners of parchment paper or a baking mat to secure it to the baking sheet.
- Fit an 18” piping bag with a plain nozzle. Pipe small blobs onto the baking sheet in rows. For the perfect shape, squeeze from a height, stop, and then pull up without squeezing.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely.
- Store the meringue kisses in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool placer, away from heat or direct sunlight. Add a small amount of cornstarch or potato starch to the container to absorb excess moisture.
NOTES
- Consistent Size: Pipe meringue kisses of similar size to ensure even baking.
- Dissolving Sugar: Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved before whipping to avoid grainy meringues.
- Piping Technique: For perfect kisses, squeeze from a height, stop, then pull up without squeezing.
