I was craving and missing the Philippines and the best way to transport myself back home is making its delicacy. One of Philippine delicacy is Peanut Kisses. It is a delicacy famous from the island of Bohol, where I came from. This little treat is pack with ground peanuts and sweet, perfect for treat after a long strenuous hike, or just something to munch while you are watching tv at home. This is very easy to make, and I hope you will like it.
How to Make Peanut Kisses
Making peanut kisses is very easy with these following instructions and detailed steps:
- Ground the Peanut- for this recipe, you need 150 grams of toasted peanuts. Place the peanut in a blender or grinder and ground it. Don’t grind it too much, you want to keep some large chunks of peanuts to be able to chew some peanut chunks in you peanut kisses. You then coat it with cornstarch to remove the moisture.
- Preheat the oven to 280 F– this is the perfect oven temperature I tried in order to hold the structure of your peanut kisses while they bake.
- Make the Meringue Mixture– this is the base of your Peanut Kisses. It consists of egg whites, sugar and cream of Tartar. Mix it from medium, to high until you achieve soft peaks. Once you achieve this, add the ground peanuts in three intervals. Make sure to be very gentle in mixing to keep the air bubbles.
- Transfer Mixture to a pastry bag– in order to make kisses look before baking, you need to use pastry bag to shape the kisses.
- Baking– as I mentioned, the peanut kisses need to bake at preheated oven at 280 F, and I bake it for 40 minutes. After forty minutes had passed, turn the oven off and leave the peanut kisses in the oven for two hours without opening the oven.
Ingredients for this Peanut Kisses Recipe
Who would have believe that you only need four ingredients to make Peanut Kisses. And its ingredients are very accessible in the stores too. Here in the USA, our stores carry ready toasted peanuts, so that made it easy for me. If your store, don’t have this, you can toast your peanuts yourself.
- Egg whites
- White Granulated Sugar
- Cream of Tartar
- Roasted Unsalted Peanuts
Equipment Needed:
- Nonstick baking pan liner– line your baking sheet with nonstick liner. If you don’t have it, you can use parchment paper
- Electric Mixer– You need this in order to mix the egg whites. Although you can use wire whisk to manually form soft peaks; your shoulder will hurt after which; so, I highly recommend using an electric mixer.
- Spatula
