MERINGUE KISSES

These colourful mini meringues are a great little sweet party nibble. You can also pop them on top of a summer bake or dessert to stunning effect

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 1h20m

Yield makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 5

75g icing sugar
75g white caster sugar
2 tsp strawberry jam
red food colouring gel
3 medium egg whites , at room temperature

Steps:

  • Line two large baking sheets with baking parchment. In a small bowl, mix both sugars together. In another small bowl, mix the jam with enough food colouring to create a vibrant red colour.
  • In a clean, grease-free bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, using electric beaters or a tabletop mixer. Add about a third of the sugar, whipping for 1 min or so, until stiff and glossy. Gradually add the remaining sugar until you have a glossy meringue that holds stiff peaks.
  • Heat oven to 120C/100C fan/ gas 1/2. Turn your pastry bag inside out and, using a spoon, paint three lines of coloured jam from the top to almost the end of the bag. Fill with the meringue mix and twist the end to close.
  • Holding the bag vertically over the tray, apply enough pressure to create a base, then quickly draw the bag upwards to create little points. The jam will give the meringues a stripy pattern as they pass through the bag.
  • Bake in the oven for 1 hr or until the meringues sound hollow when you lift one and tap the base - they should have a crunchy shell and not be too chewy. Leave to cool in the oven with the door closed, then store in a plastic food bag or airtight container until ready to use.

Tips:

  • Use a clean, grease-free bowl and beaters for whipping the egg whites. Any residue can prevent the egg whites from reaching their full volume.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the whites begin to foam. This will help prevent the whites from becoming grainy.
  • Beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks, but not dry. Stiff peaks hold their shape when the beaters are lifted out of the bowl, but they should not be so dry that they are difficult to stir.
  • Add the sugar gradually, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
  • Flavor the meringue with your favorite extracts, spices, or zests. Chocolate, vanilla, almond, and coconut are all popular choices.
  • Pipe the meringue onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each kiss. This will allow the meringues to spread slightly during baking.
  • Bake the meringues at a low temperature for a long time. This will help them to dry out and become crispy without browning.
  • Let the meringues cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. Meringues can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Coffee meringue kisses are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these delightful little cookies that are sure to please everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give coffee meringue kisses a try!
