🧁 Ingredients (Makes 20–25 small ghosts)
-
3 large egg whites (room temperature)
-
½ cup powdered erythritol (or monk fruit blend)
-
¼ tsp cream of tartar
-
Optional: dark chocolate chips (sugar-free) for eyes
🧑🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 210°F (100°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Step 2: Beat the Egg Whites
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Step 3: Add Sweetener
Gradually add powdered erythritol 1 tablespoon at a time while beating. Increase speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. This should take around 5–7 minutes.
💡 Tip: If you flip the bowl upside down and the meringue doesn’t move, it’s ready!
Step 4: Pipe the Ghosts
Spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a large round tip. Pipe tall ghost shapes directly onto the baking sheet.
👻 Want a “scary” effect? Use a skewer to gently swirl the tops into ghostly peaks!
Step 5: Add Eyes (Optional)
Place two sugar-free chocolate chips or tiny dots of melted dark chocolate on each meringue to make eyes.
Step 6: Bake Low & Slow
Bake at 210°F (100°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Then, turn off the oven and let the ghosts sit inside with the door closed for another hour to dry out completely.
