Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Cream of tartar

Directions

Step 1

Chill the can of chickpeas in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours prior to starting the recipe. This helps the aquafaba whip up more easily.

Step 2

Open the chilled can of chickpeas and drain 3 tablespoons of aquafaba into a clean mixing bowl. Reserve the chickpeas for another recipe.

Step 3

Add the cream of tartar to the aquafaba. This will help stabilize the foam.

Step 4

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the aquafaba on high speed for 5-7 minutes, or until soft peaks form.

Step 5

Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat the mixture on medium-high speed. Beat until stiff peaks form, which may take an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract and beat just until combined.

Step 7

Use the mock whipped cream immediately as a topping for desserts or beverages. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
