Ingredients
425gChickpeasStrained and the water collected (this is the aquafaba!) yields about 120ml liquid
150-200gCoconut creamsolid part of a can of coconut milk Note: Be sure to chill coconut milk in the refrigerator at least 6 hours beforehand so that the liquid part separates from the solid part.
Strain chickpeas and save the chickpea water - this is the chickpea water needed for aquafaba.
425 g Chickpeas
Put chick water in a clean and absolutely fat-free mixing bowl (of the food processor) and whip with the mixer (hand mixer or food processor) on the highest speed for 3-6 minutes, until the chick 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.
Add powdered sugar and beat again until well combined. Set aside.
31 g Powdered sugar
Place strawberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, coconut cream, bourbon vanilla (optional), and strawberry jam (optional) in a high-powered blender and blend on high speed until a creamy puree forms.
250 g ripe organic strawberries, 60 ml maple syrup, 15-30 ml Lemon juice, 150-200 g Coconut cream, Optional: ¼ tsp bourbon vanilla, Optional for a more intense strawberry flavor: 1-2 tablespoons of high quality strawberry jam
Pour the strawberry cream into the beaten egg whites and gently fold in with a silicone spatula until everything is well combined.
Pour into a freezer-safe loaf pan (I just use a baking pan here), cover and place in the freezer.
Allow to set in the freezer for at least 8-10 hours.
Alternatively, process with an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
To serve, remove, let thaw for 5 minutes, portion with an ice cream scoop and arrange in dessert bowls or an ice cream cone. Garnish with desired toppings and enjoy!
