Got these out of the book, "Cook Yourself Thin Faster" with Lauren Deen. These are SO simple to make and taste like you're eating sugar-tinted air. And, at only 11 calories per kiss, I'm definitely saving these as a special low-cal treat after dinner. Beats puttin' on the pounds with my go-to dessert: ice cream.
Ingredients:
- 3 egg whites
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 225° F.
- Line two baking trays with parchment paper or a silicone sheet.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and and salt with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Add the sugar while beating, a few spoonfuls at a time until the meringue is stiff and shiny (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the vanilla and beat to combine.
- Using a large tablespoon, drop the meringue onto the baking sheet in the shape of kisses, about 2 inches apart.
- You could also spoon the mixture into a large ziploc bag and cut the corner off so you can squeeze the kisses onto the baking sheet.
- Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- After they're finished baking, turn the oven off, leave the kisses in the oven, and keep the door ajar for about 1 hour.
- Do not store the kisses in plastic wrap or glass, as they'll become soggy very quickly. The book recommends using a tin container or wrap loosely with aluminum foil.
- Enjoy!
I tried this recipe but it came out to be too liquidy ): I don't know what i did wrong; I followed the directions, however I did not add the vanilla because I didn't think it would be too important
ReplyDeleteI had these in my cubbard in the kitchen, and loosely wrapped in tin foil and my kids and husband found them and thought I was pooping and keeping it in the cubbard, now my kids tell everyone I poop in the kitchen, all because this recipe
