Ingredients
- 1/2 cup aquafaba
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- To a large bowl of a stand mixer (or regular bowl with an electric mixer), add the aquafaba and cream of tartar. Using the whisk attachment, beat on high for 5 minutes, until soft peaks form. You can also use an immersion blender, but a stand mixer works best. It would take a very long time and a lot of arm power to whip it by hand, so I don't recommend it.
- Slowly add in the sugar, a few tablespoons at a time, and continue to beat until you have added all the sugar. Keep beating on high for a few more minutes until stiff peaks have formed.
- That's it! You've made a basic vegan meringue. See the recipes in the post above for specific ways to use it and other ideas.
