MERINGUE KISSES & ICICLES



Meringue kisses & icicles image

Make meringue kisses and icicles to decorate a cake. The kisses look fabulous on our white chocolate, orange & cranberry Christmas cake

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield Makes about 25 mini meringues

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 egg whites
200g white caster sugar
decoration , depending on the final cake you have chosen
red food colouring paste
50g dark chocolate , melted
edible glitter (available from cakecraftcompany.com) or lustre powder (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 120C/100C fan/gas ½. Line two-three baking sheets with parchment. Beat the egg whites until they are foamy and doubled in size. Add the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, while you continue to whisk. The meringue will become thick and glossy and should hold up in stiff peaks on the beaters when it is ready.
  • For the meringue kisses, fit a disposable piping bag with a 1cm round or star nozzle. Hold it vertically to the baking sheet and gently squeeze, pulling the bag up and away to make a peak. If you are making frosty icicles, make some meringue dots as well.
  • For colour-striped meringues, fit a disposable piping bag with a round nozzle, paint red food colouring paste in stripes onto the inside of the bag, then fill with meringue and pipe as before. Bake for 1 hr. Once cool, you can drizzle some of the meringues with melted chocolate and sprinkle with edible glitter or lustre powder, if you like.
  • For the icicles and snowflakes, scoop the meringue into a disposable piping bag and snip off a tiny opening. Pipe spiky icicle shapes onto the trays, making them thicker one end and thin at the other. Pipe crossed lines to make snowflakes.
  • Bake for 50 mins, then leave to cool on the tray for a few mins, then carefully loosen them off the parchment. Sprinkle with edible glitter or lustre powder, if you like. If left to cool completely, they may stick and break when you try to lift them off. If you are storing these, leave to cool completely, then layer in an airtight container between pieces of baking parchment. Now use the meringue kisses to make our white chocolate, orange & cranberry Christmas cake.

MERINGUE KISSES



Meringue kisses image

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.

Yield Makes about 24 meringue kisses

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 large egg whites
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°F. and butter and flour a large baking sheet, knocking off excess flour.
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat whites until they hold soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, beating, and beat until meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks. Drop heaping teaspoons (not measuring spoons) of meringue about 1 inch apart onto baking sheet and bake in middle of oven 45 minutes. Turn oven off and leave meringues in oven 1 hour more. With a metal spatula transfer meringues to a rack to cool completely. Meringue kisses may be kept in an airtight container at room temperature 5 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh egg whites. Older egg whites will not whip up as well and may result in a meringue that is not as stiff.
  • Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature. This will help them whip up more easily.
  • 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 overbeaten.
  • Add the sugar gradually, one tablespoon at a time. This will help prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
  • Continue whipping the meringue until it is stiff and glossy. The meringue should hold peaks when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
  • If you are using a stand mixer, be sure to use the whisk attachment. The paddle attachment will not whip the egg whites as well.
  • Meringue kisses can be baked at different temperatures. A lower temperature will result in a softer meringue, while a higher temperature will result in a crisper meringue. Experiment with different temperatures to find the one that you like best.
  • Meringue kisses can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Meringue kisses are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from a simple afternoon snack to a special holiday dessert. With a few simple tips, you can easily make perfect meringue kisses at home. So next time you are looking for a sweet and airy treat, give meringue kisses a try!
