Ingredients
- 3 egg whites Room temperature
- 150 g caster sugar
- 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 pinch salt
- red food colouring
- Crushed candy canes Decoration, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
- Gradually add the caster sugar while continuing to beat the egg whites. Beat until the mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Gently fold in the peppermint extract and a pinch of salt. If you want, add a few drops of red food colouring to create a pink swirl effect.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, drop dollops of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking tray. Leave some space between each dollop.
- If desired, sprinkle crushed candy canes on top of the meringues for extra flavour and decoration.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until the meringues are crisp on the outside and easily lift off the parchment paper.
- Once done, turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside for an additional 30 minutes to an hour to dry out completely.
- Remove the peppermint meringues from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of peppermint extract to your taste. Add more for a stronger peppermint flavour or less for a milder taste.
- These meringues are great for holiday gatherings and can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
