$9.95

Light, crisp and dreamy – these vegan meringue nests are whipped up with aquafaba (chickpea liquid!) and filled with our rich vanilla custard. Perfect for a plant-based pav-style treat!

Method

Ensure chickpea liquid is chilled before use. In a mixer, beat chickpea liquid until stiff peaks form.
Combine sugar and cornflour, and gradually add 1 tbsp at a time to the chickpea liquid, beating well after each addition. Add vinegar and beat until glossy.
Pipe meringue mixture into nest shapes on a lined baking tray.
Cook in a preheated oven at 110°C for 90 minutes.
Turn off oven and let them cool completely before removing.
Make custard following packet directions. Allow to cool slightly before filling meringue nests.
Top with berries and coconut before serving.
