Meringue Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites on medium speed until they reach soft peaks, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while increasing the speed to high. Beat until glossy, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the vanilla extract and cream of tartar using a spatula.
  5. Transfer the meringue mixture into a piping bag and pipe ghost shapes onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes until dry and can easily lift off the parchment paper.
  7. Once baked, turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside for about 30 minutes.
  8. Decorate with candy eyes and black food coloring to create spooky faces.
  9. Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
