(Makes 8 servings)
What You Need:
Drink Ingredients:
64 oz. Pineapple soda (or almost 6 cans)
24 tablespoons coconut cream (to get coconut cream, put (2) cans of full fat coconut milk in the fridge overnight and scoop the cream out)
Ice
Blender
8 orange wedges
Meringue Eyes Ingredients:
3 large egg whites
Vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Candy coated chocolates or other dark brown candies that can serve as “pupils” for eyes
Skewers
Make It (Meringue Eyes):
1. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 300°F
2. Separate one egg at a time into a small bowl, letting the white fall into the bowl and discarding the yolk (if there’s any trace of yolk in the white, discard the white and start over); transfer to a clean medium mixing bowl, and repeat with remaining 2 eggs
3. Add cream of tartar to the whites and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high
speed until soft peaks form
4. Slowly add sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until all sugar has been added; continue beating until whites are stiff and glossy; add vanilla and beat for 30 seconds more
5. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper
6. Fill a 1-quart sealable plastic bag (or pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip) with meringue – seal the bag almost completely, leaving a small opening for air to escape from the top as you squeeze; snip off one corner of bag with scissors, making a 3/4-inch-wide opening, and fold the top of bag over a few times, gently pushing the meringue down to
the snipped corner; working with the bag perpendicular to the baking sheet, pipe meringue into two ovals or circles touching one another (separate each set of eyes by about 2 inches)
7. Bake for 10 minutes, turn off heat and let them stay in oven for another 40 minutes
Make It (drinks):
1. Combine Pineapple soda and enough ice to create a slushy in a high-powered blender
2. Pour into a tall glass
3. Spoon 3 tablespoons of coconut cream into each glass and mix to combine
4. Top with ghoulish Meringue Eyes and orange wedge on skewer, as pictured
