Make Whipped Cream from Chickpeas / Cholle | Aquafaba – Eggless Recipes Series
Hey Foodies, Whipping cream is a thing we face a lot of problems finding it.. Specially the availability in India is bad, easily only available in big cities and that too mostly only for Industrial purposes.. The second issue we vegetarians face is making recipes without eggs..
INGREDIENTS:
For 2 Cups AquaFaba
- Chickpeas / Cholle - 3 Cups
- Water - 12 Cups
For 1 1/4 Cups Whipped Cream Substitute
- Aquafaba - 4 tbsp
- Powder Sugar - 4 tbsp
RECIPE STEPS:
For 2 Cups Aquafaba
- Soak 3 cups Chickpeas/Cholle in 8 cups of water for a minimum of 8 hours.
- Then get rid of the water it was soaked it in, and add the chickpeas to a pressure cooker with 4 cups of fresh water. Cover and Cook in Med-High Flame for 8 Whistles, then 20-25 mins in medium-low flame.
- Switch off the flame, and let it stay undisturbed for a minimum of 2 hours and maximum 5 hours. Let the pressure release naturally. After that, open the cooker, and drain the chickpeas in colander above a bowl. I prefer to let this stay for another hour or two. After keeping for an hour or two or more, it might start to coagulate, just give it a good stir and you're good!
- The water collected below is the aquafaba. Aquafaba is all ready to use in any recipe now.
- Since it is too much to use at once for me, I pour this into ice trays(about 1 tbsp of it each) and freeze. That way it's ready for me to use anytime.
For 1 1/4 Cups Whipped Cream Substitute
- In a deep but narrow from bottom bowl : Add 4 tbsp aquafaba. If ice cubes, thaw 4 tbsp equivalent.
- Add 4 tbsp powdered sugar. Using a Hand Mixer or a Stand Mixer, start whipping it. Start slowly, and increase speed very slowly. It will take 10-12 minutes to start getting stiff peaks using this method.
- I use a 6 speed Hand Mixer and Increase Speed from 1 to 2 at 1:30. From 2 to 3 at 3:00 Minutes. 3 to 4 at 4:00 and 5, 6 so on.. I use it till 7 minutes, and let it rest for 2 minutes. After that whip at full speed until stiff peaks which happen by 10:00 Minutes, sometimes it takes 12:00 Minutes.
- That's all, your Whipped Cream Substitute is all ready. Use it in cakes, cupcakes, trifles, pastries, or any dessert 🙂
