Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preparation
  • 1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 Celsius).
  • 2. Line a baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • 3. In a mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer (or use your stand mixer), beat the egg whites until frothy.
  • 4. Add the cream of tartar, salt and vanilla. Continue to beat until the whites stand up in soft peaks. Set the mixture aside.
  • 5. In a medium size sauce pan, combine sugar, water, the lemon zest and the lime zest
  • Bring the sugar mixture to a boil over medium heat, swirling the pan by the handle. Boil the mixture until the temperature reaches 238 degrees Fahrenheit (114 Celsius) on your candy thermometer.
  • 7. Remove the sauce pan from the heat. Pour the sugar mixture through a coarse strainer (to remove the lemon and lime zest) into the bowl with the egg whites that you set aside earlier.
  • 8. Right away start beating the mixture on a medium speed. Continue to beat until the egg white mixture stands in stiff peaks. This will take about 10 minutes.
  • 9. Using a pastry bag and 1/2 inch star tip, pipe the meringue onto the baking sheet into bite size, pointed swirls.
  • 10. Bake the kisses on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  • 11. Remove the kisses from oven and let them cool. The meringues should loosen easily from the paper, and be light and crisp.
  • 12. Store the kisses in an airtight container on the counter top.
  • 13. This recipes makes 4 to 5 dozen meringue kisses depending on how large you made them.

    We used to make these and let them sit in a low temp oven overnight and they were great. We sometimes served them by themselves or on the side of another dessert, like a chocolate mousse .
