    Default Aquafaba?

    I have been seeing rave reviews for this so thought I'd try it. Is is the liquid drained off a can of chickpeas that is beaten until whipped. It takes a long time to get it whipped. Chocolate syrup is added along with honey or maple syrup, some vanilla or other flavoring, to make creamy mousse or pie filling. All I can say is I will never make it again. Anyone tried it and have a better review?

    I am not familiar with this dish but like to try new things, however, after your review I don't think I will attempt to make it. Thanks for the warning. LOL

    Oh Dear!

    No thank you! I am not that adventuresome.

    I have heard of this being used as a substitute for whipped cream. I'd rather just skip the whipped cream.

    It's for vegans and I guess anyone with an egg white allergy. That's what I don't understand about vegans by choice. They want stuff too look and taste like meat and dairy but not be meat or dairy.

    I thought it was pretty gross. Thought it was only me tho, since others seemed to rave about it.

    I agree. Products I've tasted or dishes that I've cooked never have tasted like meat or dairy. It's a set up for disappointment if you do expect it to taste the same. Some dishes I've cooked have been very tasty and I've never missed the meat or dairy at all.

    Thank you for the aquafaba review. I've seen the recipe but never tried it. It seemed too good to be true.

    The passarounds at Lambert's Thrown Rolls have no meat and they taste great.
