Unicorn Farts

Serves around 60

***You will need a silicone macaron baking mat, a Wilton 1M open star piping tip and large piping bag for this recipe***

INGREDIENTS

150g egg whites, at room temperature

210g caster sugar

1 1/2 tsp cornflour

1 tsp white vinegar

Dollar Sweets Neon Food Colours

Lustre dust, to decorate

METHOD

Preheat conventional oven to 120ºC, place the macaron mat onto a large tray. Fit the open star tip into the piping bag.

Combine egg whites, sugar and cornflour in the bowl of a stand mixer. Start the mixer on medium speed, setting a timer for exactly 8 minutes.  When the mixture becomes frothy, turn the mixer to high and continue mixing for the remainder of the 8 minutes. Turn down to low, add the vinegar and whisk until just combined.  The meringue should be glossy and stiff.

Divide meringue evenly between 4 bowls. Colour each bowl with Dollar Sweets Neon Food Colours (1 colour per bowl) and mix until just combined.

Spoon the meringue into the prepared piping bag, 1 tbsp at a time, alternating between the colours. Pipe swirls of the meringue onto the macaron mat, then reduce oven to 90ºC and bake for 1 hour and 45 mins. Turn the oven off, leaving meringues in the oven with the door closed to cool completely. Brush with lustre dust to decorate.
