Baking sheet
- 2 cups orange juice freshly squeezed for best flavor
- Zest from 2 medium oranges
- 3 tbsp cornstarch our egg white substitute
- 2 tbsp aquafaba chickpea liquid – our secret weapon!
- 1/4 cup coconut cream

- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp vegan butter for greasing ramekins

Preparing Your Workspace
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C)
Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat up
Prepare your ramekins with vegan butter and sugar-coating
Creating the Orange Base
In a saucepan, combine 1½ cups orange juice and orange zest
Heat over medium until steaming but not boiling
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ½ cup orange juice with cornstarch until smooth
Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into hot orange juice
Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens (about 2-3 minutes)
put off from heat and stir that in coconut cream, three tablespoons sugar, and vanilla extract
move to a large bowl and allow to cool for 15 minutes
Building Structure and Volume
In a clean, dry bowl, combine aquafaba, cream of tartar, and salt
Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy
Gradually increase to high speed, adding remaining sugar one tablespoon at a time
Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form (about 5-7 minutes)
The mixture should resemble traditional beaten egg whites
Combining and Baking
Gently fold 1/3 of the aquafaba mixture into the orange base to lighten
Carefully fold in the remaining aquafaba mixture, maintaining as much air as possible
Divide mixture among prepared ramekins, filling to about 1/4 inch from the top
Run your thumb around the edge of each ramekin to create a "hat" effect
Place ramekins on the preheated baking sheet
Bake for 12-15 minutes until risen and golden on top
Serve immediately for the best results
