TheAdamMorrison: 1 cashew left behind
MystikclawSkydive: Had to look up the difference and definition of castor and icing sugars.
Icing sugar – powdered/confectioners/10x sugar
Castor sugar – superfine granulated sugar
These look fantastic.
wristretto: i’m not vegan but i’m always intrigued by using aquafaba as an egg substitute in meringue because i’m really goddamn lazy about buying eggs. but thinking about the taste makes me stop. how does it not taste like chickpeas? or does it still taste like chickpeas, but people don’t care/enjoy that taste?
TheMightyWoofer: Wait, wait, wait, waaaaaait.
You can make meringues from chickpea water?
This is *amazing*.
KendraSays: looks awesome. Thanks OP
cms9: very creative
scavengernix: Great recipe OP! I’m not a huge meringue fan but that cashew cream looks delicious. Anyone have good ideas on what else that cream would taste good with?
pumpyourbrakeskid: ### Ingredients
#### Meringues
* Liquid from 2 cans of chickpeas
* 200g Caster Sugar
* 1tsp Cream of Tartar
#### Cashew Cream
* 500g Cashews
* 250ml Baileys Almande
* 6 tbsp icing sugar
#### Topping
* Dark chocolate pieces
* Broken almonds
### Method
1. Pour the cashews and the Baileys Almande into a mixing bowl and the let the cashews soak over night
2. Pour the soaked cashews into a powerful liquidiser with the icing sugar and whizz everything together into a smooth, thick cream, cover it and put it to one side
3. Empty the chickpea water, cream of tartar and sugar into a table top mixer and whip it up for 10 – 20 mins, until you have a thick cream
4. Spoon small quantities of the cream on to lined baking trays and use the back of a teaspoon to form little dents in the top of them
5. Put the baking trays in the oven and bake them for 2 hours at 100’C (212’F)
6. Take the meringues out of the oven, let them cool to room temperature and spoon on the cashew cream into the middle of them. Dress with dark chocolate and almonds and serve immediately

KrissiOni: Can’t wait to make this!!! For those that are concerned about the sugar being vegan Ordinaryvegan.net has a great list of vegan friendly sugar companies(though if you’re vegan you probably already have your sugar figured out )
benneluke: Looks good, but why do these gifs always have stuff dripping off the sides? A little bit of caramel in the indent first and then top with the creme. Then you dont have sticky fingers.
