Before you begin, make sure your egg whites are at room temperature. This will help them whip up properly and create a light and fluffy meringue.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This will take about 5 minutes on high speed.
Gradually add in white sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to beat the egg whites. The sugar will help stabilize the meringue and the vanilla extract will add a subtle flavor.
Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a piping bag fitted with a round tip, pipe small ghost shapes onto the parchment paper. Start at the bottom and swirl upwards to create a ghost-like shape.
Place two mini chocolate chips on each ghost shape for the eyes. You can also use black gel food coloring to draw on a mouth.
Bake the meringue ghosts for about 1 hour or until they are crisp and dry. Turn off the oven and leave the ghosts in the oven to cool for an additional hour. This will help prevent them from cracking.
Once cooled, remove the meringue ghosts from the oven and serve them as a fun and spooky Halloween treat! You can also store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
With their light and airy texture and adorable ghost shapes, these meringue ghosts are sure to be a hit at any Halloween gathering. So go ahead and give this recipe a try, and impress your friends and family with your spooky baking skills!
