meringue kisses

Meringue kisses are small, airy confections made from whipped egg whites and sugar, piped into peaked dollops and baked at low temperature until crisp.

The name comes from their shape—a swirl tapering to a point, resembling a chocolate kiss.

They dissolve on the tongue: She brought a tin of meringue kisses to the party.
