The trick to making these meringue stripes look like candy canes is so easy you won't believe it.

Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 pinch cream of tartar
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 small jar red paste food colouring

Preparation

Line 2 rimless baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

In bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form; beat in peppermint. Beat in sugar, about 2 tbsp (25 mL) at a time, until stiff glossy peaks form.

Fit pastry bag with 1/4-inch (5 mm) plain tip. Using small clean paintbrush or cotton swabs, brush inside of bag with 2 stripes of red food colouring opposite each other.

Spoon meringue into bag. Pipe 1-inch (2.5 cm) kisses on prepared sheets, 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Bake in top and bottom thirds of 200°F (100°C) oven until dry, about 1-1/2 hours. Turn off oven; let stand in oven for 30 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool. (Make-ahead: Store layered between waxed paper in airtight container for up to 1 week.)

Additional information : Tip: For red- and green-striped kisses, add two green stripes of food colouring adjacent to red food colouring.
