Get ready to celebrate Halloween with this Halloween Meringue Recipe. These colorful meringues look like candy corn! With just a handful of ingredients and a few simple steps, you can whip up a festive treat!
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- ½ cup sugar fine sugar is preferred
- a pinch of salt
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon yellow food coloring
- ½ teaspoon orange food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 210 degrees F.
- Start by carefully separating the egg whites from the yolks, making sure each yolk stays intact and doesn’t touch the whites. Pour the egg whites into a mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and ¼ teaspoon of cream of tartar, then whip it all up with a mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Slowly mix in a quarter of the fine sugar while you keep beating for about 1 to 2 minutes. Then, add the rest of the sugar a little at a time, continuing to beat until the meringue becomes thick, stable, and airy enough to hold its shape.
- Take half of the meringue and mix in orange food coloring until it’s evenly spread. Pop this mixture into a piping bag for later.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pipe the orange meringue into your preferred shapes, making sure to leave enough space between them.
- Set aside one-third of the remaining meringue mixture and color the rest yellow. Place the yellow meringue in another piping bag.
- Pipe yellow towers on top of the orange. Fill another piping bag with the white meringue and pipe the white meringue on top of the yellow.
- Bake the meringues in an 210°F oven for an hour. They’re done when they easily lift off the parchment and feel dry to the touch.

Notes
- When baking meringues, remember that slow and low heat is crucial.
