Simple delicate lemon scented pink meringues. Perfect for any occasion and a sweet treat
without the guilt!
I had great fun playing with this recipe. I first started off trying to use a recipe
that used jelly crystals to make up half of the sugar for colour and for flavour. Needless to say, this totally didn’t work and
when I peaked into the oven instead of being the glorious pink colour they went
in looking like – what was in there was a murky brown (not what I needed when
making them for a pink themed baby shower).
No Idea why this happened, so decided to start again, and devise my own!
To say I am pleased with this recipe is
an understatement – and I only had to hear the positive feedback they got, to
know they were a hit!

(per meringue)
Preparation Time: 15-20 Minutes
Cooking Time: 2 Hours plus cooling
Makes 26 Mini Meringues
You Will Need:
3 Egg Whites
150g Caster Sugar
¼ tsp pink food colouring (I use Wilton Gel Colours)
¼ tsp Natural Lemon Extract (I use Dr Oetker Sicilian Lemon Extract)
Method
Preheat oven to 90 degrees, and line a baking tray with
parchment paper
Add the egg whites to a clean mixing bowl, or the bowl
attached to your stand mixer if using
Whisk until slightly frothy and bubbles are forming
In a slow steady stream pour in the sugar at intervals
whisking well to incorporate the sugar, once all the sugar is in, add the lemon
and food colouring
Turn your whisk speed up to medium high and whisk until the
mixture stiffens and forms peaks
Transfer the mixture into a large piping bag with your
desired nozzle, I used a star tip
Carefully pipe two inch rounds leaving approx 1 inch between
each meringue – I found it useful to draw around a bottle lid on one side of
the paper then turn it over so the ink does not transfer onto your mixture
Bake in the oven for 2 hours – turn the oven off and leave
overnight
Store in an airtight container until ready to devour – will last
about 4-5 days!
Do u think sweetener could be used instead of caster sugar, making them syn free?
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, sorry for the delay in the reply - I have tried with sweetener, it is possible - but they don't come out just quit the same - if you can get the granulated sweetener then that should work best! LX
