Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer or electric hand whisk
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 2 Baking trays
  • baking paper
  • Spatula
  • piping bag
  • star nozzle optional

Ingredients

For the meringue

  • 200 ml aquafaba
  • 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 240 g caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste

For the topping

  • 16 tablespoons plain vegan yogurt
  • 8 tablespoons blood orange curd
  • 2 blood oranges segmented
  • mint leaves

Instructions

To make the meringue

  • Pre-heat your oven to 90 C / 200 F.
  • Add the aquafaba and cream of tartar to a clean bowl.
  • Using an electric whisk beat on high until you have "soft peaks". This should take roughly 5 minutes.
  • Slowly add in the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and continue to beat until all the sugar is added. At this point it should have formed stiff peaks.
  • Add the vanilla and beat until just combined.
  • Fill your piping bag with a star nozzle.
  • Dab a little meringue in the corners of your baking trays then cover the trays with baking paper.
  • Pipe 8 nest across the two trays leaving gaps in between as they will puff slightly in the oven. Pipe kisses with any remaining meringue mix.
  • Place into the oven and cook for 90 minutes - 2 hours. You will know they are completely cooked when they peel off of the baking paper easily.
  • Turn off the oven and leave it to cool with the meringues inside.

To assemble

  • Once the meringues are fully cooled and immediately before serving, fill each nest with 2 tablespoons of yogurt and swirl with 1 tablespoon of blood orange curd.
  • Top with the blood orange segments, mint leaves and any meringue kisses you have left.
  • Serve immediately.
