Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice seasoning
  • Orange and Green Food Coloring for the Pumpkins AND Green and Black for Frankenstein

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 175 degrees.
  • Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • In the bowl of the mixer, mix together the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar.
  • While this is mixing, fill a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Stop the mixer and remove the mixing bowl.
  • Place the mixing bowl on top of a medium sauce pan.
  • Using a hand whisk, gently whisk the mixture until the sugar dissolves. You\'ll need to continuously whisk this, just a slow whisk will work. Takes around 7-10 minutes. Do not the mixture get to hot or boil.
  • Once the sugar is dissolved, return the mixing bowl to the standing mixer.
  • Mix the egg/sugar mixture on high until stiff peaks form.
  • Should take about 5 minutes, maybe less. It should look like thick white glue.
  • Stir in the extract and pumpkin pie seasoning.
  • Separate the meringue into 3 bowls. Mix in the food coloring. Making one bowl, orange, one green, one black.
  • Fit a icing piping bag (or a Ziploc bag with one of the ends cut off) with a large round tip.
  • Fill the piping bag with the orange meringue.
  • Pipe pumpkin shapes onto the lined baking sheets. Don\'t let them touch.
  • Pipe as many pumpkins as you\'d like.
  • Next Fit a icing piping bag (or a Ziploc bag with one of the ends cut off) with a smaller round tip.
  • Fill the piping bag with the green meringue.
  • Give the pumpkins green tops, and then use the rest of the green to pipe the green squares for the Frankenstein heads.
  • Next Fit a icing piping bag (or a Ziploc bag with one of the ends cut off) with a smaller round tip.
  • Fill the piping bag with the black meringue and pipe on faces onto Frankenstein.
  • Bake the Meringues in a 175F oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
  • Meringues should be crisp and a stiff to the touch when done.
  • Turn off oven and crack open oven door. Let cookies set in oven for about 30 minutes. Remove carefully from oven, pan may still be hot.
  • Store Meringues in an airtight container!
