Vegan Meringue Kisses

These are amazing! They turned out just like "real" merengues. I had lots of aguafaba saved up, so I decided to make a 1 1/2 batch. Oh boy, it made A LOT! I couldn't bake it all so I saved the leftover batter in the fridge. It makes a wonderful light topping for a chocolate pudding or something. 😄 Next time I know that a little bit of aguafaba goes a long way and will make a single batch. 🤣 Thank you for the excellent recipe!

So happy to hear they turned out great, Terhi! Aquafaba really does go a long way. love the idea of using the extra as a topping ✨

I made sub substitutions, which made me really doubt whether this would work out. The aquafaba seemed to be softer than the pictures and I honestly thought it would just melt in the oven, but I just needed to *trust the process*. They came out great! I left them in the oven overnight, just in case. So so cute.

These meringues are fabulous!
two things I want to mention here (from my experience making the meringues):
1. The "batter" smelled like aqua faba (which worried me a bit)
but don‘t worry, the aqua faba scent will evaporate in the oven.
2. I made these for friends a few days before meeting them. unfortunately, I didn‘t put them in an airtight container which led to "rehydrated" meringues (sticky to the touch) after two days laying on my kitchen table.
I‘ve put them back in the oven at 100 degrees celsius for 10- 15min and they were as good as new!

Maybe these insights will help someone:)

PS: I’ve let my non-vegan friends try these and they couldn‘t taste a difference;)

Hey there, Eva, thanks a bunch for taking the time to share your experience with the meringues. It's so appreciated! In case it helps with your refreshed batch, the meringue kisses can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 weeks 🤗

Lpved trying out a recipe with aquafaba. Thank you for teaching me. Meringue was good.

Made these yesterday and they are delicious!! I had to swap cream of tartar for baking powder and a little bit of baking soda cause I didn't have the cream but it still tastes really good 🤍

Should the Acquafaba be cold or room temperature?

Hey Chiara, either can work but you may find that room-temperature aquafaba becomes stiff quicker in step five 🙂

Thanks ❤️

This recipe was my first time using aquafaba and ever tasting or making meringue! These meringue kisses have a delicate, crunchy outer layer, and the inside just melts in your mouth. Fair warning: You will be tempted to eat the whole batch in one go!

Oh, DeAnna, we're so thrilled the recipe was enjoyed! How exciting to use aquafaba for the first time too 🤩
