Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
- 150 g Caster sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 300 g Strawberries
- 150 g Raspberries
- 250 ml Dairy-free cream (e.g., coconut cream)
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 5 leaves Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 100°C (210°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Pour the aquafaba into a clean mixing bowl and whisk using an electric mixer on high speed until it forms soft peaks, which should take about 10-12 minutes.
Gradually add the caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until the meringue is stiff and glossy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking tray, creating small round shapes or piping it to create nests.
Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the meringues to cool inside with the door slightly ajar.
While the meringues are baking, prepare the fruit. Hull and quarter the strawberries and gently combine with the raspberries in a bowl. Set aside.
In another bowl, whip the dairy-free cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Once the meringues have cooled, gently crumble them into large chunks.
In a serving dish or individual glasses, layer the meringue pieces, berry mixture, and whipped cream. Repeat the layers as desired.
Top with a few whole berries and garnish with mint leaves, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Dairy-Free Eton Mess!
