Crispy on the outside, light and airy on the inside—Aquafaba Meringues are the perfect vegan-friendly, zero-waste dessert made from an unexpected ingredient: chickpea water! Instead of discarding the liquid from canned chickpeas, you can whip it into fluffy peaks to create delicious egg-free meringues that taste just like the classic version.
