FAQS
How do I store Meringue Kisses?
Store Meringue Kisses in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as they can become sticky due to humidity.
Can I add food coloring to the meringue mixture?
Yes, you can add a few drops of gel food coloring to the meringue mixture after the stiff peaks have formed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the meringue.
What can I do if my meringue is not forming stiff peaks?
Ensure your bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease. Also, make sure no yolk gets into the egg whites, as this can prevent the meringue from forming stiff peaks.
Can I use a different type of sugar?
Castor sugar is recommended for the finest texture, but granulated sugar can be used if it's finely ground. Powdered sugar is not recommended as it will make the meringue too soft.
Why are my meringues cracking?
Meringues can crack if the oven temperature is too high or if they cool too quickly. Ensure your oven is at the correct temperature and allow the meringues to cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar.
