  • 1 tsp red food colouring gel This will help create a spooky effect for your ghostly treats.
  • 1 pack Cake Decor Edible Eyes These charming eyes bring your meringue ghosts to life!
  • 1 tsp Cake Décor Edible Glue An easy way to attach the eyes securely to your meringue.
For the Sundaes
  • 500 g vanilla ice cream Creamy and classic, this pairs beautifully with the airy meringue.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 110°C (gas mark ¼) and line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
  2. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating well between each addition.
  4. Pipe the meringue mix into a piping bag fitted with a 1.5cm nozzle.
  5. Pipe ghost shapes on the baking sheet, about 5cm in diameter—aim for 10-12 adorable little spirits!
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the ghosts are set and crisp on the outside.
  7. Mix the raspberry coulis or dessert sauce with the red food coloring.
  8. Use a small dab of edible glue to attach a pair of edible eyes to each ghost.
  9. Scoop vanilla ice cream into sundae glasses, place a ghost on each scoop, drizzle with sauce, and serve.
