So I heard about aquafaba (beating the water from a can of beans and using it in place of egg whites to make mousse or meringue etc). I was a little scared but it's amazing !!! I made chocolate mousse with just melted chocolate and aquafaba and it's delicious... No bean taste whatsoever and a perfect texture.
Have you tried it ?

    I suppose you can make ice cream just putting that in the fridge...

    I heard about it but never had the courage to try. Do you log it?

    Just been reading about it. I have a lot of vegan clients. I'll have to tell them about it. You can do Yorkshire puddings with it.

    Just tried, it's actually in the database.

    And this is wow! I could barely make them non-vegan (as in, try, say a prayer and maybe 1 out of 12 will raise) but as I have had better results with vegan baking than with non-vegan I may be successful!

    Silly question, but does it give you gas like beans do?
