Cupcake Decoration Idea for St. Pattys Day
 
 
Tiny Meringue Kisses!
 
 
You will need:
 
150 grams egg whites
300 grams sugar
green food coloring
Double-boiler
Stand Mixer with whisk attachment
Piping Bag
Sprayed Parchment Paper
 
Preheat oven to 200.
 
1. Place egg whites and sugar in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
 
2. Fill a large pot with water over medium-high heat. Place bowl of whites and sugar on pot so you have a double-boiler.
 
3. Keep a close eye on the whites, whisking ocassionaly. The eggs should not cook but should be hot to the touch and the sugar should be completly dissolved. When this happens, carefully remove bowl off pot and pour into mixing bowl with whisk, on the highest speed.
 
4. The meringue is ready when shiny and it holds a very stiff peak. Add desired amount of food coloring. Fill pastry bag with meringue and pipe small kisses onto sprayed parchment paper. Bake until meringues are firm to the touch, almost 1-2 hours.
