Vegan Meringue Pops
Perfect gifts to make for the festive season
Ingredients
- 100 g Aquafaba
- 0.5 tsp Cream of Tartar
- 150 g Caster Sugar
- Lollipop Sticks
- Sprinkles to decorate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 100°C or 90°C Fan and line two baking sheets with baking parchment.Add the Aquafaba & Cream of Tartar to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Then whisk until you have soft peaks. If you tip the bowl the mix shouldn't slip down the bowl - if it moves keep on whisking. this will take somewhere around 7-10 minutes.You want to use an electric for this as Aquafaba takes longer to whip up.
- Whilst you are still whisking add in the sugar 1 spoon at a time - too much and the aquafaba will deflate. Allow the sugar to be incorporated between each spoonful.Once all incorporated it will be stiff and glossy. Add to a piping bag and prepare to pipe.
- Pipe a dot then place a lollipop stick onto it. Then pipe a rosette over the top of the stick starting from the centre and working out.Then decorate with sprinkles if using and bake until crisp and firm - this will take between 2 and 3 hours.After this turn the oven off and leave them in there for 2 hours then remove and enjoy.Store them in an airtight container.
