Take note
Bear in mind that making vegan pavlova requires some precision, as the ingredients react differently than in a traditional pavlova recipe. Take care when handling the delicate meringue and be mindful of the baking time. Also, ensure that all equipment used is clean and dry to achieve the best results.

1

Preparing Vegan Meringue

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) and 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer, beat the aquafaba on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar, while continuing to beat, until the mixture becomes glossy and holds its shape.

Shaping and Baking

Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a circular base with raised edges to mimic the shape of a pavlova. Ensure the edges are slightly higher than the center to hold the toppings later. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the surface is dry to the touch and the meringue easily lifts off the parchment paper. Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the pavlova inside for another hour to cool gradually.
