No #PinterestFails! Straightforward-to-form Meringue Snow Angels are enjoyable to make. Topped with a (well being!) halo, however giant sufficient to fulfill any candy tooth.
Typically, one thing good comes from a #PinterestFail.
See these cute little guys from Betty Crocker.
And these even cuter guys from Martha Stewart.
Absolutely I can deal with pins by Betty. Even when I can’t recreate pins from Martha. However clearly, these little misshapen males are a far cry from both Betty or Martha’s pins.
*Sigh*
Right here’s what occurred.
I requested my children what I ought to make for this month’s Recipe ReDux theme of ‘Wholesome Vacation Desserts,’ and so they (surprisingly!) stated meringue mushrooms. They had been remembering the time a number of years in the past once I “made a cake of wooden.” It was the normal French Christmas cake, Buche de Noel, which is formed like a wood log. The youngsters’ favourite a part of the cake had been the chocolate frosting stuffed meringue mushrooms. (Final yr I additionally made the straightforward little mushrooms for a Gnome Birthday Cake.) However for this vacation put up, I needed to department out from mushrooms. I turned to Pinterest for inspiration.
Thus the failed melting, misshapen meringue snowmen above.
We brainstormed about different meringue shapes: Snowballs (difficult,) Christmas bushes (already been carried out, rather well,) and finally…snow angels.
Now one of the best half: Snow angels are means, means simpler than meringue snowmen.
Whether or not you beautify them.
Or not.
You possibly can completely do that. No #PinterestFails. I promise. Straightforward-to-make Easy Meringue Snow Angels are a vacation deal with. With a halo! By way of @TspCurry #TheRecipeReDux Click on To Tweet
