Time 1h30m

Yield 16 to 18 meringues

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3 large egg whites
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup superfine sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Candy eyeballs, for decorating
2 tablespoons matcha powder (ceremonial grade)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 250˚ F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat the egg whites and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and increase the speed to medium high; beat in the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Continue beating until the meringue is thick, glossy and holds stiff peaks, about 6 more minutes.
Transfer the meringue to a large piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe into spiral cone shapes, 2 inches in diameter and 3 inches tall, about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Decorate each meringue with a candy eyeball. Dust with the matcha.
Transfer the meringues to the oven and bake 1 hour. Turn off the oven and let the meringues stand in the oven until dry, about 3 hours or overnight.
