Servings: 2

Ingredients:

• 4 egg whites
• 225g caster sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 225g raspberries
• 1 tablespoon raspberry jam

Instructions:

1. Prepare Meringue Bones:

   • In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, ensuring they are firm but not dry.
   • Gradually add the caster sugar and vanilla essence to the egg whites while continuing to whisk, until the mixture stands in soft peaks and achieves a glossy texture.

2. Shape and Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 110°C (230°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
   • Transfer the meringue mixture into a large piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle.
   • Pipe bone shapes onto the prepared baking sheets, forming them to resemble eerie bones.
   • Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and crisp to the touch.

3. Prepare Raspberry Sauce:

   • While the meringues are baking, prepare the raspberry sauce.
   • In a saucepan, combine the raspberries and raspberry jam.
   • Cook over low heat, stirring regularly, until the raspberries break down and the jam melts, creating a luscious sauce.
   • Once the raspberries are softened, press the mixture through a fine sieve into a clean pan to remove seeds and achieve a smooth consistency.

4. Serve:

   • Once the meringue bones are baked and cooled, transfer them to a serving platter or individual plates.
   • Drizzle the hauntingly delicious raspberry sauce over the meringue bones just before serving, allowing the sauce to ooze and pool around the ghostly shapes.
   • Alternatively, serve the raspberry sauce as a dipping accompaniment, allowing guests to dip their bone-shaped meringues for a burst of fruity flavor with every bite.

Tips:

• For an extra spooky touch, consider adding a few drops of red food coloring to the meringue mixture to create a blood-curdling effect.
• Ensure the meringue bones are completely cooled before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy when topped with the raspberry sauce.
• Customize the raspberry sauce by adjusting the sweetness to your preference, adding more or less raspberry jam accordingly.
• Garnish the plated meringue bones with fresh raspberries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant finishing touch.

Embrace the spirit of the season with these hauntingly delightful DRACULA’S BONES with Raspberry Sauce, a tantalizing treat that will cast a spell on your taste buds and leave you craving more long after the witching hour has passed. Enjoy the magic of indulgence with every bone-chilling bite! 🦴👻🎃
