The 9th Day of Christmas - Ladies Dancers' Legs

On the ninth day of Christmas I made my loved ones Nine Vegan Ladies' Dancers' Legs


Seven bowls of Swans of swimming soup





And a pear muffin

Ingredients:

Vegan Ladyfingers:
  • 3 tablespoons vegan margarine
  • 1/4 cup daiya cream cheese
  • 3 tablespoons tapioca starch or other starch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pinch of turmeric for color, if desired
  • 2/3 cup aquafaba
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 3/4 cup sugar (superfine, if you have it)
  • 1 1/2 cups flour, thoroughly sifted
  • semi-sweet chocolate for dipping the lady fingers
  • crushed candy canes


Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F, and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Combine the vegan margarine, daiya cream cheese, tapioca starch, vanilla extract, and turmeric in a stand mixer or large bowl.
  3. Whip with the paddle attachment until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
  4. Pour the aquafaba into the bowl of a stand mixer equi pped with the balloon whisk, and add the cream of tartar.
  5. Whip until stiff peaks form, 4-5 minutes.
  6. Gradually add sugar, whipping after each addition.
  7. Gently fold the whipped aquafaba into the creamed mixture.
  8. Gently fold the flour into the mixture, folding until just combined.
  9. Transfer the dough into a pastry bag equipped with a large round pastry tip, or a large ziptop bag with the corner cut off so that the cut edge is about 3/4-inch wide.
  10. Pipe 4-inch long logs of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between cookies.
  11. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden and firm.
  12. Crack open the oven door and let the cookies start to cool while in the oven before gently moving the tray to a cooling rack to firm up completely.
