4 cup puréed soft tofu 3 Tbsp aquafaba (liquid from tinned beans, whipped)

1 Tbsp plain agar powder in 1 Tbsp water. Whip, chill, and whip again for each egg white. Be sure to purchase unsweetened varieties of non-dairy milk for baking. Otherwise, you may end up with a slightly sweeter finished product. Tip
