Meringue Bones and Ghosts image

While I know no one is ever actually scared by spooky Halloween treats, I do know for a fact that many people are terrified to work with meringue. Hopefully these bones and ghosts will help chase those demons away.

Time 2h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large egg whites
2 drops fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
7 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
2 chocolate chips, melted, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats.
  • Whisk eggs whites and lemon juice together in a bowl until thick, white, and foamy. Add sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking constantly, until meringue is shiny, thick, and holds its shape.
  • Transfer meringue to a piping bag. Pipe 12 bone shapes onto a prepared baking sheet. Pipe 12 puffs to resemble ghosts onto the remaining baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until dried and firm, about 1 hour. Turn off the oven, close the door, and cool until completely dried, about 1 hour more.
  • Dip the tip of a toothpick into melted chocolate and dot chocolate "eyes" on each of the ghosts.

I was disappointed with these meringue bones and ghosts. They were too sweet and the meringue was too dry. I wouldn't make them again.
