To make Ghost Meringue Pops, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Black food coloring
- Lollipop sticks
To begin, preheat 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 are frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture. Once all of the sugar has been added, beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Using a piping bag fitted with a large round tip, pipe the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in the shape of ghosts. Insert a lollipop stick into the bottom of each ghost.
Using a toothpick, add black food coloring to the meringue mixture to create eyes and a mouth for each ghost.
Bake the Ghost Meringue Pops in the preheated oven for 1-2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp on the outside. Allow the pops to cool completely before serving.
