I thought one wasn’t supposed to consume the brine from tinned chic peas. I heard something about it being not good to consume!
Anyway. If you wish the whipped ‘cream’ to hold its air just add some already cooked agar agar. If you make the equivalent of about 1/4 cup and let it cool. Keep in fridge. For the amount of your recipe about 1 tablespoon of the made agar agar put in microwave to make it liquid again and whip into the ‘cream ‘ when adding sugar. Have the beaters running when adding to distribute it evenly, so you don’t get lumps of agar agar through it.
This should hold for things like pavlova etc. It doesn’t alter the flavour of the ‘cream’.
Enjoy!
You can cook your own chickpeas from scratch and use the brine from that. Or try to get them in a BPA free can. Thanks for all of your suggestions. This is definitely worth more experimentation 🙂
Thanks for clearing the brine question up for me. Have fun with stabilizing the whipped brine. I am definitely going to try this as I’m lactose intolerant. I miss my pavlova! The agar agar thing is a method cake decorators use to stabilize cream.
This looks really interesting. I bet it would be good over cut up strawberries.
Absolutely!!!
Gee! How ingenious! I know vegans here are starved for good whipped cream especially during Thanksgiving. wonder since I make beans from scratch everyday if other bean brines are good. The color might change a little???? black, red 🙂
I’m pretty sure they will work. Let me know how it goes if you try it 🙂
Do you know how many grams of brine to use if we cook our chickpeas from scratch?
Maybe 1/2 to 1 cup.
