Meringues, macarons and angel cakes – what do they all have in common? That’s right, all of them require egg whites as one of the ingredients. For years, Vegans could only stare longingly at these desserts because no eggless options were available. Well, not any more. Enter chickpea water, or Aquafaba – the viscous goop-like liquid that you usually chuck after removing the chickpeas from inside the can.

Goose Wohlt, an American engineer who was on the hunt for an egg replacer discovered that whipping aquafaba resulted in properties that were extremely similar to eggs. Generally, you can replace one egg with three tablespoons of aquafaba.
