I wanted to drop in and share the recipe for the Peppermint Meringues made for my sister-in-law's bridal shower. They were delicious! And so easy to make! This recipe was adapted from Simplyrecipes.com and Whipperberry.com.
Ingredients/Supplies:
6 egg whites
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Pinch of salt
Red food coloring gel
Parchment paper
Gallon size freezer bag
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Put egg whites and pinch of salt into stand-up mixer. Start mixing the egg whites on low and gradually increase until foamy and soft peaks form. Slowly add sugar and increase mixing speed. Mix until stiff peaks are formed and then add peppermint extract and food coloring. Mix on low until food coloring is well blended.
Place parchment paper over the top of your cookie sheet. Spoon mixture into the freezer bag and cut one corner. Pipe about 1 to 1 1/2 inch mounds onto the cookie sheet.
Put meringues into oven and close the door. After 1 minute, turn the heat off. Leave the doors to the oven closed for at least 3 hours or overnight. The meringues will cook and dry out with the residual heat of the oven. A completed meringue will be hard and crunchy.
Store in an airtight container. Makes approximately 40-50 meringues.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
