New Year minus Two days

Last Christmas ......

My Hubby and I go to on of our friends house and celebrate Christmas Eve. We exchange gifts "White Elephant" which means, you can steal what your friends have for their gift and so on... lol, so funny, I never know this kind of game, funny.... 

Last Christmas........

I made some meringue, too bad I did not take a picture of them. It seems one of my friend's girlfriend like it, she even asked for the recipes. I just write it over from the book that I bought for $5.99 at Borders (on Bargain Sale). Speaking of Borders, it was my first time going there when I bought the book. When I saw the bargain sections, I really fly away hahaha.... so many cooking books there. And at that moment I decided I've got to comeback there again :D

So for you who like meringue, I just want to share this recipes (my first time to share recipes LoL)

Coffee Kisses Meringue : 
1. Preheat Oven to 300F and line baking tray with baking paper.
2. Beat 2 egg whites into stiff peaks in a small dry bowl with electric beaters.
3. Add 1/2 cup caster sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Beat until the mixture is thick and glossy and the sugar has dissolved (this will take up to 10 mins).

5. Add 2 tbs coffee instant to the mixture and beat well.
6. Spoon into a piping bag and pipe small shapes onto the trays. 

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until pale and dry.

8. Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar and coll the meringues in the oven.
9. Melt 4oz dark chocolate ( I use hersley).

10. When the meringue already cool, deep the bottom side onto the melted chocolate and gather it with other meringue.
-When cold, store in an airtight jar. Makes 30 (according to the book, for me more than 30 since i did not use piping bag. I used plastic zip to pipe them)
