vegan meringues

Light and airy Vegan Meringues are easy to make using just 4 ingredients! They are perfectly sweet, crisp and so pretty. No one will believe they&#039;re egg free!

Vegan Meringues

aquafaba*

cream of tartar

sugar

vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a large baking sheet or two with parchment paper.

Add the aquafaba and cream of tartar to a large bowl.

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat on high for 5 minutes, until soft peaks form.

Slowly add in the sugar, a few tablespoons at a time, and continue to beat until all the sugar is added. Add the vanilla as well and keep beating, until stiff peaks are formed, about 5 more minutes.

Spoon the mixture into a large piping bag and cut off the end. Pipe small circles of meringue to make the cookies, leaving an inch of space in between the cookies.

Place in the oven and bake for about 1 1/2- 2 hours. To check for doneness, take one out of the oven, let it cool for a minute, then gently open it to see if it&#039;s no longer gooey in the middle. If it&#039;s not gooey, it&#039;s done. If the middle is a bit gooey, keep baking. You want them to be fully crisp throughout.

Remove from oven and store in an airtight container for about 4-5 days. They are best the day of, but taste great for several days. Enjoy!

Cute and delicious little vegan meringues that taste like candy canes!

Whip up some crunchy meringues for a showstopping dessert. This recipe uses vegan aquafaba (chickpea water) in place of eggs

Vegan meringues

can chickpeas

golden caster sugar

soya cream and fruit, to serve (optional)

Heat oven to 110C/90C fan/gas ¼ and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Drain the can of chickpeas over a bowl, saving the chickpeas for another recipe.

Using an electric whisk, beat the chickpea water until soft peaks form (similar to egg whites). Add the sugar a little at a time, whisking constantly until thick and glossy. This step is crucial to helping the meringues hold their shape and you'll be whisking for up to 10 mins – far longer than for a traditional meringue.

Spoon or pipe the meringue mixture over the tray in 8cm blobs. Bake for 1 hr 15 mins until crisp. Leave to cool, then pile with the soya cream and fruit, if using.
