Aquafaba Pavlova With Vegan Lime Curd And Fresh Fruits
Advertisement
The trick to make ultimate meringue is to achieve a crunchy shell and gooey inside. The addition of lime curd (vegan, sugar free, dairy free) lends this Aquafaba Pavlova, indulgence pudding a nice balance with the sugary vegan meringue. Here in this recipe I am substituting the traditional eggs all over to make it vegan friendly.
