Yield Makes 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 3

400g can chickpeas
100g golden caster sugar
soya cream and fruit, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 110C/90C fan/gas ΒΌ and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Drain the can of chickpeas over a bowl, saving the chickpeas for another recipe.
  • Using an electric whisk, beat the chickpea water until soft peaks form (similar to egg whites). Add the sugar a little at a time, whisking constantly until thick and glossy. This step is crucial to helping the meringues hold their shape and you'll be whisking for up to 10 mins - far longer than for a traditional meringue.
  • Spoon or pipe the meringue mixture over the tray in 8cm blobs. Bake for 1 hr 15 mins until crisp. Leave to cool, then pile with the soya cream and fruit, if using.
