I’m constantly trying to find ways to veganise traditionally non-vegan foodstuffs. I wouldn’t say pavlova was a staple in my non-vegan life but I don’t like the feeling that I am missing out on something potentially delicious. Today I decided to combat this feeling with the aid of a vegan meringue mix, made by Angel Food in New Zealand. My Pavlova Berry Bites are fresh, light, flirty and delicious, perfect for any afternoon tea or party. I wish I was munching on one right now.
Ingredients
- Angel Food Vegan Meringue Mix (enough to make the recipe for 25 on the back of the packet)
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla essence
- 3/4 cup caster sugar
- 1 carton of Soyatoo Topping Cream
- Strawberries, cut into small slices
- Raspberries, cut in half lengthways
- Blueberries
Method
- Combine the meringue mix, water and 1/2 a teaspoon of the vanilla essence and cook as per the instructions on the packet.
- While your meringues are cooling, whisk the Soyatoo and remaining vanilla essence.
- Once the meringues are completely cooled, lay them out on a serving platter.
- Add a dollop of cream (about 1 teaspoon) to the top of each meringue.
- Top each one with a slice of strawberry, a piece of raspberry and a blueberry.
- Serve and enjoy with a cup of tea.
These look wonderful! My youngest child’s 1st birthday party is next Sunday and these look ideal. I don’t want to have to make everything at the last minute though. How far in advance do you think I could make the meringues without them loosing their crunch?
Thanks 🙂
Hi Nina,
Thank you so much! They taste as good as they look, if not better 🙂
I would try to make them at the very last minute as they really do taste better the sooner you eat them. If you have the meringues, cream and berries ready to go, it shouldn’t take you long to put them together just before serving. The ones I made today tasted amazing this morning but after a few hours in the fridge they had become quite soft. Although they still tasted awesome, the weren’t as easy to eat.
I hope your son has an amazing 1st birthday!
I would pay a $100 to eat one of these right now!
Dude, these look amazing. This meringue mix you speak of – where do you buy it? Do they sell it in Aussie stores or do I need to mail order from NZ? Because I need to get on this!
Hey Sharon!
Thanks, they taste pretty amazing too if I do say so myself.
I got mine from Vegan Perfection because it’s cheaper but you can get it from Cruelty Free Shop as well.
I do recall Vegan’s Choice selling the Angel Food Marshmallow Mix, so perhaps they sell the Meringue Mix too.
Good luck!

Hi Cat,
Thanks so much! I’ve considered having a go at macarons with this mix but haven’t gotten around to it yet. It may be a little risky but worth a try.
You can buy the mix online here.
Good luck!
