Method
- Preheat the oven to 100°C (212° F) set to fan.
- For the meringue, you need a mixer and you need to make sure that the bowl is spotlessly clean.
- With the mixer's whisk attachment on medium speed, beat the egg whites, the orange food coloring paste, salt, and vanilla, until fluffy.
- Add the granulated sugar in 10 batches and wait until it becomes fluffy.
- As soon as it turns fluffy and glossy, have a taste of the meringue to see if the granulated sugar is entirely dissolved. If not, keep beating for a little longer.
- When the mixture is ready, add the icing sugar and beat for 10 more seconds, until it is homogenized.
- Put the mixture into a pastry bag with a star pastry tip and shape the meringues – pumpkins on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 2 hours.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the meringues cool completely.
- Dip a toothpick lightly into the black food coloring paste and shape the eyes and mouth.
