Meringue:
- 1 15 ounce can chickpeas
- ¾ cup of finely ground sugar (or grind regular sugar in a blender)
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Put a colander over a large mixing bowl. Drain the chickepea brine into mixing bowl. Add the cream of tartar to the brine and mix with a whisk attachment
on a high speed until combined. Turn off the mixer and add the sugar and vanilla and mix on a high speed for ten to fifteen minutes or until the meringue
forms stiff peaks.
-
2 packages of phyllo cups
Put the phyllo cups on a baking sheet and fill with the lime filling. Top with a dollop of meringue and put under the broiler until the meringue begins to
brown. Turn the pan to brown them evenly. Watch carefully so they don’t burn, and never leave them unattended while they are under the broiler.
Cover and refrigerate for at least eight hours to set.
You may have extra filling and meringue left over. Put them in a ramekin (single serve baking dish) and make a “baked Alaska.”
