Create spooky and delightful ghost meringues for your Halloween party. This easy recipe yields a charming and delicious homemade dessert that will impress your guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Black edible marker

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed. Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Beat in the white vinegar and vanilla extract.
  5. Transfer the meringue mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
  6. Pipe ghost shapes onto the prepared baking sheets. For each ghost, pipe a round base, then a slightly smaller round on top for the head. You can add a little swirl at the top for a wispy effect.
  7. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the meringues are firm and lift easily off the parchment paper.
  8. Turn off the oven, prop the door open slightly, and let the meringues cool completely inside the oven. This prevents cracking.
  9. Once cooled, use the black edible marker to draw eyes on each ghost meringue.

Notes

  • Ensure your bowl and beaters are completely free of grease, as this can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
  • You can test if the sugar is dissolved by rubbing a little meringue between your fingers; it should feel smooth, not gritty.
  • Store cooled meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
