Unicorn poo meringues Recipe
Unicorn poo meringues is a Kids' baking recipe for 4 - 8 people, takes only 20 mins; recipe has egg whites, caster sugar and icing sugar.
Ingredients
- Caster Sugar - 100g caster sugar
- Icing Sugar - 100g icing sugar, sifted
- Egg Whites - 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
- Food Colouring Gels - 4 food colouring gels or pastes (we used pink, yellow, blue and green)
- Ready To Roll Fondant Icing - small amount of white and black ready-to-roll fondant icing for the eyes and mouth
- Round Cutter - 4cm round cutter or circle to drawn around
- Piping Bag - 1 large piping bag fitted with a large open star nozzle (1cm)
- Paintbrushes - 4 small paintbrushes
Instructions
- Heat oven to 120C/100C fan/gas 1/2 . Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Using a 4cm round cutter as a guide, draw 22 circles on each piece of parchment in pencil. Turn the parchment over.
- Whip up the egg whites in astand mixeror with an electric hand whisk until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add the caster sugar in, a spoonful at a time, whisking in completely between each addition. Repeat with the icing sugar until the mixture is glossy and stiff.
- Put the piping bag nozzle down in a tall glass or jug. Roll down the top of the bag a little, over the rim, then paint a thin stripe of each coloured food gel from the nozzle all the way up to the top of the bag. Spoon in the meringue mixture.
- Pipeswirls of meringue onto the trays using the circles as a guide. Bake for 20 mins then turn down to 100C/80C fan/gas 1/4 and cook for a further hour, or until they are completely cooked through and sound hollow when tapped on the base. Leave to cool in the oven.
- Mould small pieces of white and black fondant icing to create eyes and mouths. Stick these on the cooled meringues with a small dab of royal icing (if they don't stick by themselves).
