I just wanted to share, I whisked these by hand tonight so my vegan daughter can have s’mores at summer camp! –No better motivation.

It can be done. 🙂

Chiming in to say that I had the deflation problem with the coconut cream, but it took a while. I was able to add maybe 2-3 tablespoons of the cream before things went south. Maybe a smaller amount is safer? Maybe the fact that I keep my coconut cream in the fridge gave me a little more leeway?

In reply to alexveg. Yes, the fruit leather trays should be fine -- the mixture is sturdy enough. Good luck and I hope you enjoy!

hello!! i just found my first dehydrator and I was wondering– I have the round presto dehydrator, I'm not sure how to put the marhsmellows in it. I have the fruit leather trays,do you think I could dollop them on that? or maybe just parchment paper? thanks

In reply to kevin bertram. Yeah, I just finally got around to trying this again with xanthan gum & as soon as I added the tiniest bit of coconut cream the meringue deflated. No fun!

In reply to kevin bertram. Jenny, I've tried this twice with little impact on the fluff, so I'm not sure what happened! However, I've updated the recipe with a note to leave the coconut cream out because deflation may occur.

In reply to kevin bertram. Kevin, not sure what happened, perhaps the fat content was to high? But yes, this still works without the coconut cream, I would just add the xantham gum in slow and wait a minute before adding in more. Because you are not adding in fat, you'll need less xanthan gum than this recipe calls for.

Thanks for your kind words about the blog and good luck with your next batch of aquafaba!

I have to say, I had the same problem as Jenny up there, but I definitely used xanthan gum. It's too bad… I had such a wonderful consistency before the coconut cream and then it totally fell flat. Went from bright white to off white, 2L in volume to 1L.Next time I'll just stop before the coconut cream.Otherwise a great recipe and a great blog too!

OHMYGOSH I JUST REALIZED MY MISTAKE. I accidentally used agar in place of xanthan gum. My bad. At least I figured out what I did wrong!

(Still bummed about the wasted ingredients, though. Oh well.)
