Ingredients:

  • 4 large egg whites (120 ml)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (1.5 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • 2 ounces dark chocolate, melted (56 g) for eyes

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean mixing bowl, combine egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat on high speed until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Gently fold in the vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Transfer meringue to the piping bag and pipe ghost shapes onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each ghost.
  6. Bake for 1 hour, or until meringues are dry and easily lift off the parchment.
  7. Allow meringues to cool completely and use melted chocolate to dot eyes on each ghost.
