SKITTLES Fruits 1kg Bag

1
Separate 10 red Skittles in a small bowl and soak in the boiling water.
2
Meanwhile, add your egg whites to a large mixing bowl with the salt & lemon juice. Using a stand mixer/ handheld mixer, whip together until the mixture becomes frothy.
3
Slowly sprinkle in the sugar. This step makes a big difference in your final meringues so remember to take your time and add the sugar in gradually. After the sugar has been added, beat in the vanilla extract.
4
From your small bowl, discard the Skittle lentils, you should be left with red water as the colour from the skittles has transferred. Add 1 tsp of this to your meringue mixture to give it a light pink colour.
5
Continue beating your meringue mixture until it gets to a thick marshmallow-y texture and can hold a stiff peak. Transfer to a piping bag immediately.
6
Place individual Skittle lentils of every colour on baking paper, spaced at least 2 inches apart. Pipe your meringues on top of each Skittle lentil.
7
Bake at 200F for 45 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the meringues in the oven for a further 2 hours minimum to allow them to completely dry out.
8
Top with crushed Skittles to make them extra colourful!
