🛒 Ingredients

1 servings

1
  • 200 ml guaraná soda (chilled)
  • 400 g refined white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pastry emulsifier (available at baking supply stores)
  • A few drops of vanilla extract
  • Liquid food coloring (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the chilled guaraná, sugar, emulsifier, and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand or hand mixer.

  2. 2

    Beat on high speed for 8–10 minutes until the mixture reaches a stiff, glossy meringue-like consistency.

  3. 3

    If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and fold gently to achieve your preferred shade.

  4. 4

    Use immediately to pipe onto cakes, cupcakes, or parchment paper for decorative rosettes.

💡 Chef's Tip

Since the emulsifier contains fat, this meringue is heat-sensitive — keep it cool and use it promptly. Chilled guaraná straight from the fridge gives the firmest results. Great for egg allergies or a vegan diet.
