Description

Delightfully airy and subtly sweet yogurt drops made from whipped aquafaba and yogurt powder, flavored with vanilla and a touch of beet powder for a natural tint. These light, meringue-like treats are baked at a low temperature until crisp and perfect for snacking or garnishing desserts.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can low-sodium chickpeas
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons yogurt powder
  • 1 tablespoon beet powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare baking sheets: Set your oven racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat to 200°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Drain the chickpea liquid: Pour the liquid from the canned chickpeas through a fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup, reserving approximately 3/4 cup of aquafaba. Keep the chickpeas for another recipe.
  3. Whip aquafaba and cream of tartar: Transfer aquafaba to a stand mixer bowl fitted with the whisk attachment, or use a large bowl and electric hand mixer. Add cream of tartar and whip on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add sugar and vanilla, whip to stiff peaks: Gradually add sugar and vanilla while whipping continuously on medium speed. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, about 5 to 7 minutes more.
  5. Fold in powders: Gently fold in the yogurt powder and beet powder until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  6. Pipe the drops: Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip or use a gallon-sized zip-top bag with a small corner snipped. Pipe dime-sized rounds onto the prepared baking sheets. Drops can be placed close together.
  7. Bake: Bake the drops at 200°F for 1 hour or until dry to the touch and crisp.
  8. Cool and store: Allow the yogurt drops to cool completely on the baking sheets. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep leftover yogurt drops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • The sugar is optional and can be adjusted or omitted depending on your preference for sweetness.
  • You can save the drained chickpeas for recipes like hummus or roasted chickpeas.
  • Ensure not to overmix when folding in powders to maintain the airy texture.
