Did you know the liquid from a can of chickpeas—known as aquafaba—can revolutionize your baking? As a passionate vegan baker with years of experience, I've mastered turning this humble byproduct into fluffy meringues and beyond.
How to Make Perfect Vegan Meringue
Ingredients
- The liquid from a 400 gram can of chickpeas
- 150 grams of sugar or powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract or powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 100 degrees.
- Pour the chickpea liquid into a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for a few minutes until frothy. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla, whipping until stiff peaks form—this takes about 10 minutes total. The mix should hold when you invert the bowl.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pipe or spoon the batter into swirls.
- Bake for 1.5 hours at 100 degrees. Turn off the oven and cool inside for 2 hours without opening the door.
