It's half term and my kids want to bake. They decide that macarons are what we must make, but I've never attempted a vegan version of this somewhat tricky delicacy .... until now! I know that people all over the place are making gorgeous macarons without eggs and they are meant to be absolutely delicious - so here we go. To those of you who are regular bakers it will probably come as no surprise that the secret ingredient in these vegan macarons is aquafaba – the vegan chickpea water that replaces egg whites in meringues, pavlovas and vegan chocolate mousse. My kids are a little grossed out by this ... but quite frankly its a whole lot nicer than an egg (in my opinion).
Vegan Vanilla and Jasmine Macarons Makes 28-30 macarons Ingredients For The Shells: 350g aquafaba – from 2 x 400g tins of chickpeas in water (not salted water) 180g icing sugar 180g ground almonds 100ml strong brewed jasmine tea 180g golden caster sugar Seeds ½ vanilla pod, scraped - if you want to create a more interestingly colour macaron then you can add gel food colour and gold petal dust, optional For Vegan Vanilla Buttercream: 100g vegan butter 250g icing sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla extract You will also need: 5 x (13in x 9in) baking trays lined with silicone greaseproof paper Piping bags 1cm round piping nozzle Sugar thermometer Stand mixer with whisk attachment Method

Who said that desserts cannot be healthy at the same time? Well, you just prove to everyone that it's possible and we can do it for a very affordable price. The moment you presented it to us, I had the curiosity to try Vegan Vanilla & Jasmine Macarons for my family. I feel like my nieces are going to have a good time when they finally got the chance to eat it!
