Just because you are a vegan does not mean you can indulge in a crisp and sweet meringue. Use this base recipe to produce a fluffy, crisp meringue to add to ice cream sundaes, trifles or make a pavlova.

Flavour the meringues by adding vanilla, rosewater or any other flavour you can come up with during the first batch with sugar.

This batch yields about 20-25 pcs of meringues which are approx. 3 cm in diameter.

Note that these meringues will become brittle when stored for a longer period. Consume these within 1-2 weeks of making.

Ingredients

  • 1,5 dl aquafaba
  • 2 dl white sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Add aquafaba to a bowl, add lemon juice and 1 dl of sugar.
  2. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved and merged with the liquid.
  3. Add the remaining sugar and whisk until you have a firm foam.
  4. You should be able to hold the bowl upside down, and the foam should not fall out.
  5. Add to a piping bag, with whatever nozzle you fancy and create small meringues on a tray covered with baking paper.
  6. Place in the middle of an oven, pre-heated to 100 C and bake for 45 minutes. (or 125 C if they are larger).
  7. You know that the meringues are ready when they let go of the baking sheet easily.
