Chickpeas water to make a vegan mayo? Yes!
This is officially my first attempt to make a recipe using aquafaba. I’ve read a lot about the wonders of the chickpeas water, especially from Zsu Dever’s Aquafaba book and I believe is one of the funniest and satisfying ingredient you can find on a vegan diet.
For this version I took inspiration from the Minimalistbaker.com: it’s a quite fluffy soft mayo that you can store for a couple of days (though mine lost volume once cold). I’ve tried another version more thick and compact that I will show in the future in another video.
“Generally, the term aquafaba refers to liquid from cooking legumes, like the liquid in a can of chickpeas, or liquid from cooking dried beans at home. The liquid is very close to the consistency of raw egg white and can be used in many recipes in very much the same way. You can bake with it, whip it and make meringues, make marshmallows or cheese with it, or use it as a raw fluff.”
