Dulce de Leche Meringue Kisses

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400¿aF). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: Optional: Use a silicone mat for easier cleanup.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy.

   Tip: This helps stabilize the meringue.

3. 3

   Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

   Tip: Make sure to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whip the unsalted butter until light and fluffy.

   Tip: This helps create a smooth, creamy dulce de leche sauce.

5. 5

   Add the dulce de leche, salt, and vanilla extract to the butter and mix until combined.

   Tip: This helps bring out the flavors of the dulce de leche.

6. 6

   Slowly pour the egg mixture over the butter mixture and mix until combined.

   Tip: This helps create a smooth, even consistency.

7. 7

   Spoon the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

   Tip: This helps create the perfect meringue kisses.

8. 8

   Pipe the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in small, round kisses.

   Tip: Make sure to leave about 1 inch of space between each kiss.

9. 9

   Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the meringue is firm and dry.

   Tip: This helps create a crispy exterior and chewy interior.

10. 10

    Allow the meringue kisses to cool completely on the baking sheet.

    Tip: This helps prevent them from breaking or shattering.
