In the vegan world, certain ingredients take on new roles. You've probably heard of cashew cheeses and coconut yoghurt. But did you imagine finding egg whites in a can of chickpeas? Introducing aquafaba.
Prep:
40 mins 
cool:
30 mins 
cook:
90 mins 
Preheat oven to 120°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
To make the meringues, place the aquafaba in a mixer and whip to stiff peaks for about 12-15 minutes. Gradually add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, continuously whipping, until the sugar dissolves.
Dollop the mixture into 6 rounds over the paper and bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours, until the meringues are dry and firm to the touch. Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and allow to cool for another 30 minutes.
To assemble, crush the meringues into chunks and place half into the bottom of 6 serving glasses. Layer with yoghurt, mango, passionfruit and more crushed meringue. Finish with orange zest and toasted coconut flakes. Serve immediately. *Tip: Not sure what to do with those chickpeas? We've got lots of recipes right here to make good use of them!
