Method
 

Meringue Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). In a clean, dry mixing bowl, combine egg whites with cream of tartar. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add granulated sugar while beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Sift powdered sugar over whipped egg whites and gently fold in using a rubber spatula. Add vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Using a piping bag fitted with a round tip, pipe dollops of meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, aiming for ghostly shapes.
  5. Bake meringues for 1 hour, ensuring not to open the oven door during baking.
  6. Turn off the oven and leave meringues inside for an additional hour to cool.
  7. Decorate cooled meringues with chocolate chips or edible eyes for spooky faces.
  8. Serve and enjoy your Ghost Meringues arranged on a spooky-themed platter.
