How to make Amazing Whipped Aquafaba – Smooth creamy and a magical wonder, who knew liquid from chickpeas could be so fabulous.

Making aquafaba has been on my must-make list for sometime now. The first time I became aware of Aquqfaba was over a year ago, well, I finally got around to whipping up a batch for myself, and it’s amazing.

What is aquafaba?

It’s the juice from cooked chickpeas. You can cook your own or use canned chickpeas. I prefer to use canned, its consistency is more reliable, making it a time saver. Goya chickpeas are my favorite, they’re so tender and great in recipes like this one, Pear-Brussels Sprout Salad or this one, Chickpea Jalapeno Salad, so that’s the brand I use to make my whipped aquafaba.

Whipping aquafaba is easy. Simply drain and use a hand or stand mixer and whip until the desired consistency has been reached. You can whip by hand, but it will take much longer.

I like to use soft whipped aquafaba as an egg substitute, semi-soft peak as egg white substitute in recipes or as a topping, and stiff-peaks to make meringues for pie toppers or baked for delicious meringue cookies.

Today’s recipe is slightly sweetened semi-soft peaks that I like to serve over fruit.

    I’ve been meaning to try making it for ages too. It looks amazing (as do your photos). I had no idea you could eat just whipped aquafaba. I thought you had to use it in recipes. Incredible. Thank you for the great post 🙂

    I made the Aquafaba with the juice from two 15 oz. cans an only used 1/4 cup of sugar Filled a large mason jar with the “Whippins” and had some leftover to fill a small container ,however it didn’t whip as stiff as I thought but I believe the recipe you posted was for the juice from one can as opposed to two so I probably didn’t use enough sugar to make it work ! next time I’ll follow directions more closely
