Rose Water and Pistachio Meringue Kisses

Rose Water and Pistachio Meringue Kisses

Would you like to know how to make these beautiful rose water and pistachio meringue kisses?

They are pillowy light and oh so yummy.  Just in time for Valentine’s Day.  Make a big batch and share them with your friends.  You’ll be sure to get lots of hugs and kisses in return.

If you’re new to whipping egg whites, see my post on Salted Caramel Swirl Meringues for some helpful tips.

Rose water may be a little difficult to find.  It’s often used in Middle Eastern cuisine.  I found a bottle at Atlas Specialty Supermarket and Persian Cuisine.

For the pistachios, I placed them in a sandwich bag and finely ground them using a rolling pin. There’s no cleanup which is a good thing.

Rose Water and Pistachio Meringue Kisses

To make the meringue kisses, place the egg whites in a clean mixing bowl.  Using the whisk attachment of your stand mixer, mix at high speed until stiff peaks form.  Add sugar, one tablespoon at a time.  Continue whisking for 6 minutes.  Add cream of tartar.  Whisk for a further 2 minutes.

Rose Water and Pistachio Meringue Kisses

Fold in rose water and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the ground pistachios.

Turn your piping bag inside out and paint stripes of red food colouring along the sides.  Fill the piping bag with the meringue, cut the tip and pipe out your kisses.  Sprinkle the tops with the remaining pistachios.

Bake for 30 minutes.  Turn your oven off and allow the kisses to bake for a further 30 minutes.

    Meringue cookies are the best! Sweet, gluten-free and low in fat! Love that you incorporate the middle eastern flavors in them. The reddish pink swirls are beautiful!
