Meringue Kisses Recipe
Isn’t snoring annoying?
The giant man-baby snores… a lot! When bedtime rolls around it’s kind of a race – a race on who can get to sleep the fastest! If I’m not asleep before him, I know I’ve got an agonising night of listening to his builder-esq snaffling all night until I finally get to sleep out of sheer exhaustion.
Apparently I snore too but I have yet to see or hear the evidence. In fact, the giant man-baby thinks it’s OK to snore because he’s a man. 😕
I’ve been trying to capture his nighttime antics. It’s not working, he has a weird snore. He’ll snore for minutes at a time then stop, then it could be a random time when he starts again. Each time I bust my iPhone out, he stops. Gah! 😆
Now I’ve found the perfect thing to stop him snoring… Seriously, Meringue Kisses! Pop one of these puppies into the mouth of a snoring partner and watch them slumber peacefully all night with a sweet meringue kiss as a pacifier! 😀
And who wouldn’t want a pacifier made of meringue? Simple, delicious and adorable.
All I need now is that giant ‘onesie’. 😉

Meringue Kisses
Yield: 100 mini meringues
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Pretty pastel coloured mini meringue kisses. Simple yet adorable. These mini meringue kisses are a perfect gift.
Ingredients:
- 100g egg whites (approx. 3 large eggs)
- pinch of salt
- 100g caster (superfine) sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100g icing (confectioners’) sugar, sifted
- pink, blue and yellow food colouring
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 80°C/175°F/Gas Mark ¼. Line two baking trays with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place the egg whites and a pinch of salt into the bowl of an electric mixer and start whisking at high speed. As the egg whites start stiffening, slowly sprinkle the caster (superfine) sugar into the mix. Stop whisking as the meringue becomes stiff and glossy.
- Add the vanilla extract and slowly fold the icing (confectioners’) sugar into the meringue mixture using a rubber spatula. Separate the meringue mix into three equal parts; keep the first white, mix the second with pastel pink and the third with blue and yellow for a pastel aqua shade.
- Place a star nozzle into each piping bag and fill each one with a different colour meringue mixture. Pipe little rosettes onto the prepared baking trays and place in the oven for between 2-3 hours, or until they have fully dried out.
- Store in a dry, airtight container. If stored correctly, they will keep for up to three months.


These are beautiful!
Thanks Hani.
Wow, LOVE these!! so pretty!
Thanks Alice.
These are gorgeous!!! I’ve never tinted my meringues, but you’ve inspired me 🙂
The recipe called for liquid food colouring but I didn’t want to ruin the consistency so used gel.
Glad I could inspire you. Thanks Liz.
Lol! Um, seriously, my husband and I sleep in separate rooms for a reason. it was either that or I was going to stab him in the night. 🙂 Love these meringues, and the pacifier idea, lol.
Oooo, now you’ve given me evil night time ideas. Must.Not.Stab.Him. *repeat* We haven’t the room to sleep in separate beds. Although I did spent the night on the wood flooring in the lounge a few nights ago. Thank goodness for travel bed mattresses.
Thanks Dorothy.
I know that snoring is no laughing matter, but this post did make me laugh:) Your pastel meringues are so pretty. I really need to try some!
Glad I made you giggle. Thanks Sue.

These look amazing!! And the pictures are stunning! Well done! Will def try to make them 🙂
hahahaha I am sorry I am always giggling at your posts though. My boyfriend also snores, though his is more like having a giant bear in my room >_< . He is not a fan of meringues but I know plenty of people who would LOVE to try these out. They are so adorable Lisa! Love the color scheme.
So we have a giant man-baby and a giant bear. Oh dear lord, I’m fearful! 😆
Thanks Jess.
These are seriously the cutest little things I have ever seen. They are also in my sorority colors of pink and green so I adore them!
Haaaate snoring! I don’t snore, and the boyfriend rarely snores (if he has a cold or something that changes). These meringue kisses look like a delicious little way to curb such annoying tendencies 😉
They are sooooooooooooooooo beautiful. I LOVE the colors !:)
I usually have tons of egg-whites in the freezer and I do make meringue-kisses sometimes.
snoring… yes… the worst! my pet peeve lol. I have never made meringues before but these have got to be the cutest ones in the entire world! PS: I love how you called me dude in your comment on my blog today lol!! made me giggle. 🙂
Hahahaha oh god, I’m not a snorer unless I’m super sick and congested, but sometimes I’ll have to nudge Jessie to knock off. It grates my nerves! Lol. The last time I made meringues it was a total fail. Mine looked like mummified, crusty versions of your gorgeous, perfect ones! I need to retry using your recipe because these look beautiful and SO tasty!
Ahhh snoring, it runs in the men in my family 😛
Your meringue kisses are so adorably relish!
Cheers

How sweet these are! Perfect for Valentine’s Day. Thanks for sharing.
I love this. I usually buy this in the store. Thank you for reminding me to buy and eat again. Lol 🙂
These are absolutely adorable, So pretty.
I totally cannot deal with snoring. I am very sensitive to all noises and need uninterrupted sleep or I’m not fun to be around 😉 These meringue kisses are beautiful!
I can’t wait to try this recipe. I have a meringue recipe, but this is different and I’m anxious to see how it compares.
So cute and sweet! I love the pastel colors in your beautiful jar! Wishing you a peaceful night’s sleep for you!

Hi Lisa! I’ve tried this recipe for meringue kisses twice now and both times the meringues have ‘oozed’ while baking. What am I doing wrong??
Thanks for you help 🙂

Hi Lisa, Thanks for stopping by. I’m sorry the recipe hasn’t worked out exactly as you should have expected. 🙁
Without being there, I can’t say exactly what went wrong. I can say, however, that when *I* personally make meringues and macarons, I weigh everything. When I say everything, I mean the egg whites too as all eggs vary in size. Too much egg whites can cause the mixture to be too wet. The egg whites and sugar also have to be beaten until they’re at stiff peaks or until you can hold the mixture upside down and it won’t budge. In other words, meringues are fickle! 😆
How was the consistency when you piped? Oozey or held its shape? Another thing to factor is oven temperature too. I always use an oven thermometer as again, all ovens vary and what appears to be the right temperature on the dial/settings, could be as far off as 10-15℃ either way.
I do know that meringues baked at too high of a temperature crack and brown too much. We don’t want to bake the meringues, basically we’re using the oven to dry them out.
I hope this helped somewhat? And don’t give up! Feel free to email me directly if you need any further help.
