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.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest egg whites possible. Older egg whites will not whip up as well and will result in a flatter meringue.
  • Make sure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of any grease. Any residue can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high speed as the whites begin to foam. This will help to incorporate air into the whites and create a stiff meringue.
  • Be patient when whipping the egg whites. It can take several minutes to reach stiff peaks.
  • Do not overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will become dry and crumbly.
  • Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites, beating constantly. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and resulting in a grainy meringue.
  • Bake the meringues in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent them from spreading.
  • Bake the meringues until they are dry and crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. This will take about 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the meringues.
  • Let the meringues cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and become more stable.

Conclusion:

Surprise meringue kisses are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little patience, you can create these delightful little meringues that are sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give surprise meringue kisses a try!
