Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Meringue Ghosts and Bones.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a gentle 225°F (110°C) and prepare two baking sheets with silicone mats for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine egg whites and lemon juice, whisking until the mixture transforms into a thick, foamy cloud of white.
Step 3
Slowly incorporate sugar, adding it one spoonful at a time while whisking continuously, until your meringue achieves a glossy, thick consistency that holds its shape beautifully.
Step 4
Next, transfer this delightful meringue into a piping bag.
Step 5
On one baking sheet, pipe out 12 whimsical bone shapes, and on the other, create 12 charming ghostly puffs.
Step 6
Place the meringues in your preheated oven and let them bake for about an hour, or until they are firm and dry to the touch.
Step 7
Once baked, turn off the oven, close the door, and allow the meringues to cool inside for an additional hour, ensuring they dry completely.
Step 8
For the finishing touch, dip a toothpick in melted chocolate and carefully dot chocolate eyes onto each ghostly meringue, bringing them to life with a playful gaze.
Step 9
Enjoy your spooky treats!.
