Ingredients

1. 1 cup powdered whole sugar
2. 1 cup / 240 ml aqua faba (liquid from 1 15-oz / 425-g can of low-sodium chickpeas)
3. ½ tsp. / 2½ ml vinegar or 1½ g cream of tartar
4. 2 tsp. / 10 g real vanilla, extract or powdered beans
5. Dairy-Free Whipped Cream
6. 1 cup / 160 g berries of any type

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200°F / 100°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the chickpea brine until soft peaks form, at least 5 minutes, depending on the strength of your mixer.
3. Add vinegar or cream of tartar, followed by a steady stream of sugar, then vanilla, beating continuously. Beat until stiff peaks form, for at least 5 additional minutes.
4. Pipe or spoon ⅓ cup / 80 ml of the meringue batter onto the parchment paper. Create a 2-in / 5-cm round indentation in the center of every meringue.
5. Bake the meringues for 2 hours in the oven (do not open the oven door during the first hour).
6. After 2 hours, turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside for 30 minutes. Check for doneness by tapping on the meringue and listening for a hollow sound.
7. Meanwhile, prepare the Dairy-Free Whipped Cream, if you haven’t already done so.
8. Remove the meringues from the parchment paper and set onto a serving dish.
9. Spoon 1 tablespoon / 15 ml of the cream into every indentation. Top with 1 tablespoon / 10 g berries.
