Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegan Chickpea Meringues.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a gentle 210°F (100°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Next, drain your chickpeas, but don’t toss that liquid just yet—set aside half a cup for this delightful recipe.
Step 3
The chickpeas can be saved for another culinary adventure.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the reserved chickpea liquid and sprinkle in the cream of tartar.
Step 5
Grab your electric mixer and beat the mixture until soft peaks begin to form, creating a fluffy cloud of goodness.
Step 6
As you mix, gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and keep beating until you achieve glossy peaks that shine like a starry night.
Step 7
This magical transformation may take around 20 minutes, so be patient and enjoy the process.
Step 8
If you’d like to elevate the flavor, feel free to stir in a splash of vanilla extract for a warm, inviting touch.
Step 9
Now it’s time to get creative! Transfer your luscious meringue mixture into a piping bag and pipe small circles, about an inch in diameter, onto your prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
These little meringue clouds are going to be delightful! Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and let the meringues bake for about 90 minutes, or until they are firm and can be easily lifted off the parchment paper.
Step 11
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once they’re baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and allow the meringues to cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes.
Step 12
This is the moment to savor the anticipation of enjoying your homemade treats!.
