Print Recipe

Delicate, airy meringues with a hint of earthy sweetness from sweet potato puree and aquafaba, perfect for a vegan and allergy-friendly treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) aquafaba (liquid from one 15 oz can of unsalted chickpeas, chilled)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar (use a vegan-friendly brand)
  • 2 tablespoons sweet potato puree (smooth and lump-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Optional: A tiny drop of orange gel food coloring

Instructions

  1. Pour the chilled aquafaba into a clean mixing bowl. Add the cream of tartar.
  2. Using your mixer, beat the aquafaba and cream of tartar on high speed for 5–7 minutes until fluffy and stiff peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to mix on high speed.
  4. Gently fold the sweet potato puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt into the meringue using a rubber spatula.
  5. Dip the tip of the spatula into the mixture and pull up—if the meringue holds its shape, it’s ready. If not, keep whipping.
  6. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Fill your piping bag with the mixture and pipe small swirls onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving space between each.
  8. Bake for 1.5–2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and easily lift off the parchment paper.
  9. Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside for 30 minutes to prevent cracking.

Notes

[‘Chill your aquafaba for at least an hour before starting to whip.’, ‘Be patient while whipping aquafaba to achieve stiff peaks.’, ‘Use smooth sweet potato puree to avoid lumps in the meringue.’, ‘Bake at a low temperature to ensure the meringues dry properly.’, ‘Test for doneness by checking if meringues lift easily off the parchment paper.’]
