Rose Meringue Kisses with White Chocolate Raspberry Ganache

As the Dutch version of the Bake Off has started up again (I know, it's Bake Off season, can't talk about anything else it seems!), some businesses are seeing ways to promote their (often awesome) bakeware with giveaways and contests. I'm not complaining, if there's cool stuff to win I'm in! These meringues are my entry for a cookery store contest, where you can win their weekly prize (some fancy whisks this week) and if you participate each week, an Ankarsrum kneading assistent. 

These meringues are superchic and somewhat special because of their rose flavor. Rose is a difficult flavor to use because you could end up with something which tastes like soap. Dosed properly, however, it is very lovely and floral. It always makes me think of those English gardens, full of roses - but then sweeter and in my mouth. Some might shy away from it but I love a bit of garden flavor. Rose Meringue Kisses make a great addition to a high tea or a fancy get-together!
