Ingredients
- 120 ml Aquafaba Canned chickpea water
- ¾ teaspoon White vinegar
- ¼-⅓ cup Turbinado Sugar (AUS - raw sugar)
- ¾ teaspoon Rose Water or flavoring of choice
Instructions
- In a bowl, add aquafaba, optional rose water and white vinegar. Beat everything together until soft peaks form with either a stand-mixer with a whisk attachment, an electric whisk or the old fashion way, just a whisk. Once soft peaks have formed add sugar, one tablespoon at a time until all used up. Leave a 10 second gap between adding spoonfuls.120 ml Aquafaba, ¾ teaspoon Rose Water, ¾ teaspoon White vinegar, ¼-⅓ cup Turbinado Sugar
- Once stiff peaks are formed, (your beaten vegan meringue is ready when the bowl can be turned upside down and the mixture does not slide or drip out of the bowl. It holds its shape), prepare your baking sheet tray. If using baking paper add a dot of meringue in each corner and placing the baking paper onto it. Or use a silicone mat laid onto the sheet tray
- Fill piping bag with aquafaba meringue and pipe bite sized discs onto the tray. Ensure each disc is evenly sized to maintain even baking.
- Place in a preheated (conventional setting) oven at 100C (210F), either ½ or ¾ down (not the top of the oven) for 90 minutes. Take the chickpea meringues out of the oven and allow them to cool down to room temperature.The vegan meringues are ready when they are easily peeled off the baking paper/silicone mat.

Notes
Vinegar can be substituted with fresh lemon juice
Over beating or under beating can cause the meringues to collapse whilst baking.
The oven should be set to a conventional setting and not fan-forced, as the fan can send these lightweight meringues into a flying mess in your oven.
