Pink marble meringues
Pink marble meringues
So pretty and perfect for the month of love…What you need
- 8 large egg whites
- 2 cups caster sugar
- Pink food colouring
- Wooden skewer
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 150°C (130°C fan oven). Place egg whites into bowl of electric mixer. Using the BALLOON WHISK, whisk the egg whites until they have doubled in volume and hold a peak.
- Add sugar a tablespoon at a time, ensuring that it incorporates completely before adding the next. Whisk until egg whites are glossy.
- Drop 4 to 5 circles of the meringue mixture onto an oven tray covered with baking paper. Repeat using a separate baking tray until mixture is finished.
- Using a tablespoon, shape the meringues using a swirling motion.
- Dip skewer into food colouring and gently swirl pink dye into each meringue to create a marble effect. Using the back of a tablespoon, continue to swirl dye, to create a more blended effect.
- Place meringues in the oven. Bake for about 1 hour until they are crisp, lift off the paper easily and make a hollow sound when tapped. Switch off oven and leave meringues in the oven with the door slightly opened, to cool completely (about 60 to 90 minutes). Serve as a treat to your loved one.
