Meringue Droplets

These Meringue Droplets were inspired by Eileen's recipe in Munch Ministry but I made some modifications to it. These take a LONGGGGG time to bake but they're pretty effortless. And since they taste so damn good, it's all worth the effort!

Meringue Droplets Recipe

Ingredients:

One egg white (I used a 60g weight which had 30g of white)

Equal amount of icing sugar

1/8 tsp cream of tartar

Pink gel food colouring (I used Wilton)

Purple gel food colouring

Steps: 

Preheat oven to 100 degree Celsius.Whisk the egg white till slightly frothy. Once frothy, add the cream of tartar. Add the icing sugar one tablespoon at a time. Allow it to be fully incorporated before adding the next tablespoon. 

Whisk it till stiff peaks form. It should be glossy and pretty! (:

Divide into 3 portions and add a small bit of pink gel colouring into a bowl. Mix well.

Add some purple gel colouring into another bowl and mix well. 

Add a lil' food colouring at a time.. you can add more when it's insufficient but you can't reduce the intensity of the colour.

Have a star piping tip ready in a piping bag. You can use a cup to 'hold' the piping bag! 

Add the 3 colours into the piping bag.. each colour leaning on 1/3 of the side if possible.

Pipe the meringue droplets onto a silpat/silicon mat.

My droplets! Bake in the oven for 2 - 2.5 hours or till surface of meringue is no longer sticky. The purpose for this slow and long bake is to dry out the meringue thoroughly.

Enjoy these pretty melt-in-your-mouth, almost marshmallowy with a crispy exterior Meringue Droplets!
