Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Serves: 8
Ingredients:
- 4 egg whites
- 200g caster sugar
- ½ tsp cornflour
- green food colouring
- ½ tsp white wine vinegar
- small edible stars and hundreds and thousands (optional)
Method:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 120C. Line two baking trays with parchment and fit a large piping bag with a star nozzle. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites and a pinch of salt to soft peaks using an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, one spoonful at a time, whisking well after each addition until you have a thick, glossy meringue. Using the Morphy Richards MixStar whisk in the cornflour and vinegar, then add a few drops of green food colouring for a light green hue.
Step 2: Spoon the meringue into the piping bag, then pipe a circular base and spiral upwards to form a Christmas tree shape. Top with an edible star, if desired, and sprinkle with hundreds and thousands. Repeat to make 12 trees. Bake for 1 hour until crisp, then turn off the oven and let the trees cool inside for another hour.
