Candy Cane Meringue Kisses
Candy Cane Meringue Kisses are a delightful and festive treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth this holiday season. These light and airy meringue kisses are infused with the delicious flavor of candy canes, making them the perfect addition to any holiday dessert table.
To make Candy Cane Meringue Kisses, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 cup crushed candy canes
Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they become frothy. Add in the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
Next, fold in the peppermint extract and crushed candy canes until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in small, kiss-shaped dollops.
Bake the meringue kisses in the preheated oven for 1-2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp on the outside. Once done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving.
