Cotton Candy Meringues

This is round 2 of my quest for the best cotton candy flavoring. 

You may remember my cotton candy mints recipe where I tried 

the LorAnn Cotton Candy Flavor.  In my humble opinion, the 

Duncan Hines Cotton Candy Flavor Mix tastes much more

like cotton candy and colors your creations a lovely shade of blue!

I made meringues and piped 2 different shapes using the same tip - 

Wilton 2D - little star shapes and rose swirls. After I piped them onto my 

sheets of parchment I sprinkled them with some pretty nonpareils.

I loved the texture of the meringue mixture and the

baked meringues were very nice & crisp. They

held up quite nicely to being moved about so

much for the pictures!

The cotton candy flavoring gave the meringues

such a pretty color. They looked lovely with the pink polka dots

on my vintage hankie! (I try to sneak in as many of my

vintage fabrics as I can in my photos!)

Cotton Candy Meringues

adapted from make-fabulous-cakes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup egg whites (120g) or 4 large egg whites

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp (115g) granulated white sugar

1 packet Duncan Hines Cotton Candy Flavoring

1 cup (115g) lightly spooned powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F and place a piece of

parchment paper on a cookie baking sheet.

Whisk egg whites in a bowl until frothy. Add 

cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form.

Slowly add the granulated sugar and whisk 

until the meringue reaches stiff peaks.

Beat in the Duncan Hines Cotton Candy

Flavoring packet.  Fold in the powdered sugar. 

Place the meringue in a piping bag with your tip

of choice and pipe on to the baking sheet. Bake for 

2 hours. Alternatively, bake for 1 hour and leave

in the turned off oven overnight.

I liked the size of the little star shaped meringues. So cute!

They would make nice little nibbles for any Tea Party!
