Snake Meringues image

I found this recipe in the New Idea and thought I would post it here for later. These look so good and would be great for a kids party! Snakes can be made one week ahead and stored in an airtight container.

Time 1h

Yield 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 egg whites
1 cup caster sugar
1 tablespoon cornflour
blue food coloring, to tint
soft eating licorice
miniature M&M's chocolate candies, to decorate

Steps:

  • Beat whites in a small bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tblsp at a time, beating until dissolved between additions. This process will take about 10 minutes. Beat in cornflour and tint mixture with food colouring.
  • Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a 1cm-fluted nozzle. Pipe 16cm-long snake shapes, 4cm-apart, on oven trays lined with baking paper.
  • To decorate snakes, cut forked tongues from licorice using a small sharp knife and lightly press into front of meringue heads. Lightly press M&M's on top of heads for eyes.
  • Cook in a very slow oven (120C) for about 40 minutes, swapping trays halfway through cooking, or until firm to touch.
  • Cool trays in oven with door slightly ajar.
