1

Whip up Some Meringue Magic

In a large bowl, whisk together 4 egg whites and a pinch of salt until foamy. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar, whisking constantly, until stiff peaks form. The meringue should hold its shape and be glossy.

2

Pipe Your Meringue Mountains

Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip with the meringue mixture. On a lined baking sheet, pipe tall mounds that resemble mountains. Space them apart to allow for expansion. Start with a wide base and taper towards the top.

3

Bake and Cool

Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Bake the meringue mountains for 1 hour, then reduce the temperature to 175°F (80°C) and bake for another 1-2 hours until they are crisp and dry. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.

4

Create Underwater Wonders

Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler. Dip the base of each meringue mountain in the melted chocolate to create the illusion of water at the bottom. Decorate with edible pearls or shimmering sugar to add a touch of sparkle.

5

Summon the Merman

Using a piping bag fitted with a small round tip, pipe blue or turquoise buttercream icing on top of each meringue mountain to create the ocean. Add swirls and waves for a whimsical touch. Get creative and make different hues of blue for a realistic effect!

Finishing Touches

Decorate your Merman Meringue Mountains with edible seashells, sea creatures, or even tiny fondant mermaids. Let your imagination run wild! Serve them on a platter with edible sand made from crushed graham crackers for a beachy vibe.
