Ingredients
For the pavlova:
- 80 ml aquafaba see notes, reduced
- ¼ Teaspoon cream of tartar (sub for white vinegar)
- 150 g caster sugar
- ⅛ Teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, helps the pavlova to hold shape)
To assemble the Eton mess:
- 5 Tablespoons strawberry jam (or strawberry puree made from 150g blended strawberries and 1 tablespoon icing sugar)
- 270 ml whipping cream I used Elmlea plant double, dairy-free
- 1 Tablespoon icing sugar (omit if you're using cream that's already sweetened)
- 250 g strawberry fresh

Notes
- M&S Plant Kitchen now sell ready-made vegan meringues! Feel free to use these if you don't want to make your own.
- To reduce aquafaba, weigh out the liquid from two 400g cans of tinned unsalted chickpeas. Place it in a saucepan and simmer on medium-high heat. Transfer it between the saucepan and a bowl to weigh it periodically until it has been reduced by half (I started with 180g and reduced it to 90g). Place it in the fridge overnight or for at least a few hours to chill- this will help it to congeal like egg whites.
- This dessert is best enjoyed immediately. It will last up to 12 hours in the fridge.
