Categories     dessert

Time 5h25m

Yield 70 kisses

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 11-ounce bag white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
Red sanding sugar, for dipping

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 250 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in a large clean dry bowl with a mixer on medium speed until foamy. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until thick and opaque, about 1 more minute. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, and beat until stiff shiny peaks form, about 5 more minutes.
  • Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe about seventy 1-inch drops on the baking sheets, pulling the bag up to form a peak; leave space between each. Bake at 250 degrees F until dry and crisp, about 3 hours. Let cool completely on the baking sheets. Store in an airtight container in a dry place for up to 1 week.
  • Combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Dip the bottoms of the meringues into the white chocolate, then dip in red sanding sugar; let set on parchment.

NAN'S MERINGUE KISSES - EASY TO BE CREATIVE



Nan's Meringue Kisses - Easy to Be Creative image

This is a basic meringue kiss recipe which is easy to do and open for experiments. I started with a simple vanilla flavor kiss and have made lots of different flavors. These have always been a hit for the holidays. NOTE: Depending on your oven, you may have to use a lower temperature than suggested so the kisses don't brown too much on the bottom.

Categories     Candy

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 kisses

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 egg white
1 pinch salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250º degrees.
  • Beat egg white & salt with mixer until frothy or fluffy. Add sugar very slowly while still using mixer.
  • Beat until a stiff peak forms and sugar is dissolved.
  • Fold in by hand vanilla.
  • Spoon (teaspoonful) onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake 40-45 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly before removing to cooling rack.
  • Store in airtight container.
  • You can add (1/4 cup per batch or desired amount) chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, mint chips, etc. Fold these in last.
  • You can also substitute the vanilla with any flavor extract. I have used cherry extract with chocolate chips. These were excellent.
  • You can also add a couple drops of food coloring to the desired flavor of the kiss. If you use a drop of yellow with a drop of red to get an orange color you can use chocolate chips to have a Halloween kiss.
  • I don't suggest using wet ingredients such as maraschino cherries, pineapple, etc.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs for the best results. Older eggs may not whip up as well and can give your meringues a grainy texture.
  • Make sure your bowls and utensils are completely clean and free of grease. Any residue can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the whites begin to foam. This will help to prevent the whites from becoming overbeaten.
  • Add the sugar slowly, in a steady stream, while continuing to whip the egg whites. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and giving your meringues a gritty texture.
  • Bake the meringues at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to prevent them from browning and will give them a crisp exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the meringues cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This will help to prevent them from becoming sticky.

Conclusion:

Meringue kisses are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own or used to decorate other desserts. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of flavors and colors. With a little creativity, you can create meringue kisses that are perfect for any occasion.
