MERINGUE BOWS WITH MATCHA SNOW

We saw Jilian Barreca make meringue bows, so we made meringue bows - with a dusting of matcha ‘snow’, perfect for desserts, homemade gifts or to add to a cookie box this festive season!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 100g egg whites
  • 200g caster sugar
  • 1tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1tsp JENKI Matcha

HOW-TO:

  1. Heat sugar at 180C for about 5 minutes, watching to ensure it doesn’t melt.
  2. Meanwhile, start to beat egg whites until nicely frothy using a stand mixer or hand whisk, then slowly add sugar at high speed and continue to whip until meringue has cooled to room temp and is nice and glossy.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Add your meringue mix to a piping bag with a piping tip and create your bows.
  5. Bake at 90C for 30-40 minutes or until meringues are fully dry (you may need to let them go longer depending on the size of your bows).
  6. Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool still inside the oven with the oven door cracked open. Once cooled, sprinkle with JENKI Matcha snow through a sieve and serve!
