Meringues are defined as "an item of sweet food made by baking a mixture of stiffly beaten egg whites and sugar until crisp." Except we won’t be using egg whites this time! Store in an airtight container.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup aquafaba
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Beat aquafaba in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, 10 to 13 minutes. Whisk in sugar, 1 heaping tablespoon at a time, until well combined. Whisk in vanilla.
Step 3
Pipe or drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until firm to the touch, about 70 minutes. Let sit on the baking sheets for 2 minutes then transfer to wire racks to finish cooling, about 25 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
Aquafaba is the liquid from canned chickpeas. Drain a 15-ounce can of chickpeas to get enough aquafaba for this recipe.
