Aquafaba Meringue Kisses

Saturday comes round but once a week and decisions need to be made near on straight after the previous weeks blog to what you will get or need the following week.

Its been a hectic week for me this week so I had to think how to incorporate all the necessary baking, day job commitments, and blog post to something interesting and usable.

Sooooooooo I got to thinking, I had Eton Mess cupcakes to make ( yes I will show you later calm your passion 😜)

But being Gluten Free and Vegan I had to make my own Meringues ( I can hardly cheat and by some shells as the egg tolerant non vegan folk would do pressed for time 🙊), so there would be plenty of Meringue to play with, and well why not give you some meringue options……..with Bean Juice aka Aquafaba 😂

So Meringue Kisses came into play, fit for any occasion and for adorning a cake, cupcakes or just general mouth popping 🙈🙈

********PLEASE READ THIS ITS IMPORTANT AND I’M NOT WANTING TO HEAR I DIDN’T TELL YOU *************

You need a stand mixer, feel free to try a hand mixer, but it will take a longer time, I’ve never tried !!!!!

These Meringues are susceptible to water, heat and humidity.

Do not make up for more than an hour to being served , however shells can be kept in the fridge for 5 days in an air tight container and will remain fresh.

To perk up to crisp again in oven for 10 minutes on 90 C 194 F

Do not place these on a cake or cupcake for more than 1 hour before , they will melt, but easy enough just to pop on.

If anyone has anyway round this let me know cos your a genius 😜😜😜

Right with that out the way lets talk positives, they are delicious, light crisp and very very moreish. I’ve shown you my method of colouring as it means I can do multiple different colours , but of course you can do a block colour just add Gel paste colours to the end of the whisking process

I’ve made these just vanilla, chocolate and colourful, but of course any filling you like, and any flavouring, go for it

I have used all 3 Types of gel colour I have at hand, so you are aware that any work, check your brand for Vegan though, some are not !!

I’ve found over time that boiling the Aquafaba for 5 minutes for certain things really does pay dividends, and this is one of those times, it thickens and stregnthens and not a step you want to miss.

With intolerance baking there are little in the ways of shortcuts, things take time, if you haven’t got patience then don’t blame me 😂😂

Right lets get Whisking (A LONG TIME )😜😜

RECIPE

So there you go they are not as difficult or trick as folk make out they are vegan, I’ve done the donkey work for you 😂😂
