Vegan Ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
These delicious vegan ladyfingers are so light and crispy! Dunk them in coffee and use them as a base to make tiramisu and other desserts! Just 8 ingredients are required!
Ingredients
- 70 g aquafaba
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 15 ml oil
- 15 ml applesauce
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 130 g all-purpose flour sifted
- 20 g cornstarch
- 50 g powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to
350 °F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Whip the aquafaba: Add the aquafaba to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. You can also use a hand mixer. Whip the aquafaba on high speed until it reaches soft peaks.
- Add the granulated sugar and whip for another 1-2 minutes or until it reaches stiff peaks.
- Combine: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and cornstarch. Using a spatula, fold the oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract into the whipped aquafaba. Do not overmix.
- Next, add the flour and cornstarch and carefully fold them with the whipped aquafaba. Do not overmix and stop mixing as soon as the flour is incorporated and no white streaks remain.
- Pipe: Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch tip. Pipe the batter into 3-inch long logs, leaving about 2 inches between each.Dust each log with powdered sugar.
- Bake: Bake the ladyfingers for 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden brown on the edges. Let the ladyfingers cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.
Notes
- For more precise results, measurements are given in grams. This recipe is not versatile. I recommend following the exact measurements and not making any substitutions.
- Do not overmix. When adding the dry ingredients to the whipped aquafaba, be gentle and do not overmix. Stop mixing as soon as the flour is fully incorporated into the aquafaba.
- Use a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch tip. I found that this tip size yields ladyfingers similar in size to those you would find in supermarkets.
- Dip in chocolate! If you plan to enjoy these ladyfingers as is, feel free to dip the base in melted chocolate!
