Ingredients

  • 8 large egg whites
  • 2 cups caster sugar
  • Pink Food Colouring
  • Wooden Skewer

Instructions

  • We made this recipe using the Breville Bakery Boss® Stand Mixer.
    Pre-heat oven to 150°C (130°C fan forced). Place egg whites into Glass Bakery Boss Mixing Bowl. Using the BALLON WHISK, whisk the egg whites on the AERATING/WHIPPING setting, until they have doubled in volume and hold a peak
    Add sugar a tablespoon at a time, ensuring that it incorporates completely before adding the next. Whisk until egg whites are glossy
    Place meringue mixture into 4-5 circles on a baking paper covered oven tray. Repeat using a separate baking tray until mixture is used up
    Using a tablespoon, shape the meringues using a swirling motion
    Dip skewer into food coloring and gently swirl pink dye into each meringue to create a marble effect. Using the back of a tablespoon, continue to swirl dye, to create a more blended effect
    Place meringues in the oven. Bake for approx. 1 hour* until they are crisp, lift off the paper easily and make a hollow sound when tapped. Leave in the oven with door slightly opened, to cool completely (about 1 hour - 1 hour 30 minutes). Serve

Notes

1. Ensure your bowl and utensils are dry and sparkling clean
Any moisture including possible residue from a previous recipe, will cause a chemical reaction with your egg whites. By ensuring you have very clean equipment, the egg whites will be able to perform at their best.
2. Control your oven temperature
It’s no secret that our oven temperature can be uneven. Not only will most conventional ovens have warmer and cooler zones, but some do not necessarily heat to the temperature you set. The best way to understand your oven is by purchasing an internal oven thermometer. These can be found at most kitchenware stores.
Also, make sure to not cook other dishes whilst cooking your meringues. This will also have a major effect on your result.
3.  Use a good-quality stand mixer
In a good-quality mixer, you can make light work of perfect meringue peaks.
4. Let your meringues cool in the oven
To avoid your meringues cracking, and sinking in their middle – let them cool for 1 hour in the oven.
