Merengue Vegano

Cultural Context

The vegan meringue, or 'merengue vegano', is a delightful adaptation of traditional meringue, using aquafaba, the liquid from cooked chickpeas, as a substitute for egg whites. This innovation not only caters to those following a vegan lifestyle but also showcases the versatility of plant-based ingredients. In Brazil, meringues are often enjoyed during festive occasions and family gatherings, and the vegan version has gained popularity as more people embrace plant-based diets. Today, it can be found in various desserts, from pavlovas to cookies, appealing to both vegans and non-vegans alike.
