Ingredients
4 egg whites
250g icing sugar, sieved
300ml whipped cream
Method
Cover three baking trays with a perfectly-fitting sheet of silicone paper.
Mix all the icing sugar with the egg whites at once in a spotlessly clean bowl.
Whisk until the mixture forms stiff dry peaks – 10 to 15 minutes. Spoon into a clean piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe into spooky ghost shapes.
Bake immediately in a low oven 150°C for 30 minutes or until set crisp.
Pipe eyes with melted chocolate on half of the ghosts. Sandwich the meringues together with whipped cream.
