Cook&Smile: Meringue Ghosts

Makes around 20 some might fly away 😊

Ingredients:

270g caster sugar

100g egg whites at room temperature (3-4 large eggs)

Pinch of salt

Chocolate chips for the ghost eyes

Icing bag

Method:

Whisk the egg whites with the sugar until it is thick and glossy.

Fill your icing bag and pipe the meringue into a ghost shape on a prepared baking sheet, starting with a circle (approx. 1.5-inch) and spiraling upward to a point for the top of the ghost´s head.

Leave a 2-inch space between ghosts to allow for spreading. Carefully press two chocolate chip eyes into each meringue.

Bake for 40min at 135◦C/275◦F. Turn the oven off immediately after the 40min. and allow meringues to completely cool down inside the closed oven (approx. 3hrs or overnight).
