DIFFICULTY: 3
2 hours
INGREDIENTS PER 2 PEOPLE
egg whites, 2 at room temperature
vanilla flavoured caster sugar, 4/5 cup
1 pinch of salt
a few drops of almond essence
fuchsia natural food colouring gel
PROCEDURE
Preheat the oven to 200°F. Whisk egg whites with salt for a few minutes then add sugar, a tbs at a time, keep beating. Add also the almond essence and continue whisking until the mixture is well puffed, smooth and shiny. Put a large blossom spout in a piping bag and then pour the food colour inside the bag making some strips a few centimetres apart from each other. Line a baking tray covered with baking parchment. Fill the piping bag with the mixture and apply some pressure to it so as to form small meringues, at least 2 inc apart. Bake the meringues for about one and half hours, then turn the oven off and leave the meringues inside it until cold. Store in an airtight container.
