Ingredients
120mlChickpea waterThis is the liquid that remains when you strain a can or jar of chickpeas and collect the water (chickpea water = that's the aquafaba!).
1/4 TL Xanthan Gum can also be omitted, but the beaten egg white will then not be as stable
Strain chickpeas and save the chickpea water - this is the chickpea water needed for aquafaba.
120 ml Chickpea water
Place water in a mixing bowl (of food processor) and whip with mixer (hand mixer or food processor) on high speed for 3-6 minutes until chickling water has increased in volume and looks like beaten egg whites. If in doubt, continue beating longer and at the highest level rather than stopping too soon.
1/4 TL Xanthan Gum
Optionally refine with powdered sugar and / or use in the desired recipe.
