Aquafaba Egg-White Meringue Clouds
The liquid from a can of chickpeas—aquafaba, the vegan world's miracle egg-white—whips into glossy, stiff peaks and bakes into impossibly light, crispy meringues with zero animal products. One ingredient, pure confectionery magic.

Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 100°C (212°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely grease-free—any fat will prevent whipping.
Beat aquafaba on high speed for 5–7 minutes until soft, foamy peaks form.
Add sugar one tablespoon at a time while continuing to beat, waiting for each addition to fully incorporate.
Continue beating for 8–10 minutes until the mixture holds stiff, glossy peaks that do not slide when the bowl is tilted.
Add salt and beat 30 more seconds to stabilize.
Transfer to a piping bag and pipe small kisses or rosettes onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 90 minutes, then turn the oven off and leave meringues inside undisturbed for at least 1 hour to dry completely.
Meringues are ready when they lift cleanly from the parchment and feel completely hollow and dry.
💡 Chef's Tip
Fold in 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder after stiff peaks form for chocolate meringues, or press a fresh raspberry into the center of each before baking for a fruity variation.
