Are you ready to add some creepy bones to your Halloween party fare? These light and airy confections are easy to whip up.
PREP TIME: 15 mins • COOK TIME: 1 1/2-2 hours • MAKES: 10-12 bones
INGREDIENTS
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add egg whites and the cream of tartar. Beat together at medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Add vanilla extract and gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time until stiff peaks form, the meringue is shiny, and the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Fill a pastry tube pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch round tip with meringue. Pipe a 3-inch long x 1-inch wide line on the parchment paper. Pipe two balls on each side of the line to create the bone ends. You can smooth any peaks/lines with your finger or a spoon. Continue to create 10-12 bones.
- Bake for 1½ – 2 hours, or until the meringue easily is moved from the parchment paper. Cool on the baking sheet. Store in an air-tight container in a cool, dry place.
If desired, make strawberry coulis for dipping the bones.
For the coulis:
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, quartered
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
To make the coulis: Add strawberries, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup water to a saucepan. Simmer over low heat; stirring and crushing the strawberries in the sauce until the sugar has dissolved completely and the sauce has thickened – about 10 minutes; then let it cool.
