13 Mouthwateringly Amazing Vegan Aquafaba Recipes

Before they go vegan, most people focus on what they need to give up, rather than looking into the things they love and can actually keep in their life!

Stuff you certainly don’t need to sacrifice are delicious desserts, fluffy baked treats, and crumbly cookies. A main ingredient to achieve desired results for these type of meals are eggs. I admit that if you were used to using them as a tightening agent in all sorts of stuff, including fake meatballs and muffins, you might be scared off by the thought that your baked creations may never look and feel like the ‘real thing’.

Well, your skepticism couldn’t be more wrong!

Here is the vegan egg replacement that has taken the world by storm

And is promising you results you never thought an eggless creation could achieve! Because it has properties similar to those of egg whites, this miracle liquid can act as an emulsifier, leavening agent, and foaming agent in an endless variety of recipes.

I have a separate article about egg substitutes (The Best Egg Replacement For Any Meal You Can Imagine) you might want to look into, and many of you pointed out I didn’t include aquafaba in it – well, it’s because this amazing ingredient deserves an article on its own.

One more tip, courtesy of The Vegan Society: “If using aquafaba to make fluffy things like Yorkshire puddings and light cakes, remember to whisk it first until it turns white and foamy, then fold it into the batter using a metal spoon to keep those bubbles from popping.

13 Mouthwateringly Amazing Ways To Use Aquafaba

1. Vegan Meringue

It may sound like an oxymoron, but vegan meringue is a real thing and it’s surprisingly easy to make — all you need is some chickpea brine, sugar, and a hand mixer to achieve this light and creamy goodness.

2. Homemade Wagon Wheels

Healthy wagon wheels? Who knew! These low-sugar puppies are well worth the effort, and once you’ve mastered vegan marshmallow fluff, you’ll surely be finding all kinds of uses for it (or commence eating it straight from the bowl).

3. Chocolate Dipped Meringues

If you’ve ever had a traditional meringue, you’ll know the joy of this light-as-air delicacy. And because this recipe uses maple syrup in place of icing sugar, you don’t have to subject your body to an injection of processed sugar to enjoy it.

4. Totally Easy Fluffernutter Sandwich Cookies

Fluffernutter: you learn a new word every day! These dessert sandwiches utilize your now-mastered vegan marshmallow fluff skills to take salty and sweet peanut butter cookies to the next level. Did I mention they’re gluten free?

5. Raspberry Rose Macarons

Macarons are the king of French desserts in my books — light and airy, crispy and creamy, all at the same time — and I never imagined they could be made without eggs! These particular macarons are beautifully floral and oh-so-pretty. You’re probably going to want to make extra.

6. Three-Ingredent Aquafaba Chocolate Mousse

It really doesn’t get better than chocolate mousse, but the traditional kind is made with heavy cream and leaves you feeling even heavier. This version is rich and light all at the same time, and way healthier. Even if you’re not vegan, you should make this mousse! With only 3 ingredients, there’s no excuse not to give it a go.

7. S’mores Brownies

Need I say more? These brownies are gluten free and vegan, and boast nutrient-rich ingredients like buckwheat groats, medjool dates, and coconut oil. And because the recipe calls for coconut sugar instead of cane, your blood sugar won’t be hitting the roof two minutes after consuming them.

8. Raspberry and Elderflower French Macarons

More macarons! If you’re never had elderflower liqueur, you’re in for a real treat for the senses.

9. Banoffee Ice Cream Bars

These ice cream bars are the deconstructed version of the famous pie, and use aquafaba for the creamy meringue. Can anyone say perfect summer dessert?

10. Rooibos Tea and Homemade Ice-Cream Float

This may not be the healthiest dessert on the list, but it definitely gets points for nostalgia. If anything can make you feel like a kid again, it’s an ice cream float, and this one is all grown up with rooibos tea instead of pop and aquafaba and fruit standing in for traditional ice cream.

11. Mini Vanilla Bean Pavlovas With Coconut Whip and Raspberries

Another brilliant vegan meringue creation that looks as beautiful as it tastes. Between these pavlovas and the macarons, you’ve got yourself the makings of a pretty incredible vegan tea party. (Fancy hats not included.)

12.Homemade Marshmallow Fluff

Return this dessert to its traditional roots with this recipe for vegan marshmallow fluff, which uses real marshmallow root instead of gelatin and, of course, aquafaba instead of eggs.

13. Chocolate and Strawberry Mousse Pie with Graham Cracker Crust

Gluten free, not too sweet, and sure too impress —  this vegan dessert has it all! It pairs salty and sweet with chocolate and orange (courtesy of a little Grand Marnier) and the result is spectacular.
