Ingredients for Vegan Aquafaba Whipped Egg Whites
    Main Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup chickpea cooking water (can use liquid from canned chickpeas)
  • a few drops vanilla extract (optional flavor enhancer)
Instructions
    Preparation Steps
  1. Prep the chickpeas

    Soak the chickpeas in water overnight.

  2. Cook the chickpeas

    In a pressure cooker, place the chickpeas and cover them with clean water, about three inches above the beans. Cook for 30 minutes.

  3. Prepare the aquafaba

    Strain the cooking water into a bowl and let it cool. Reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking water.

  4. Concentrate the liquid

    To concentrate the liquid, transfer it to a small saucepan and simmer until it reduces by half (optional).

  5. Whip the aquafaba

    Whip the liquid with a stand mixer or electric mixer until it doubles in volume and becomes frothy. Add ½ cup of granulated sugar and continue to whip until it reaches soft meringue consistency.

    Do not whip by hand.
  6. Flavor the mixture

    Enhance the mixture with a few drops of vanilla extract or other flavors as desired.
