This recipe uses aquafaba. I know right? I had not heard of this either until I started doing some research. So what is aquafaba? It’s a term used in vegan cooking and refers to the liquid in which chickpeas are cooked. Aquafaba is used as a substitution for egg whites in vegan cooking. For this recipe, it’s what gives the whipped cream the light, fluffy consistency. To make aquafaba simply drain the liquid from a can of chickpeas or save the liquid after cooking them.
How to Store Dairy-Free Whipped Cream
This whipped cream is best when served immediately. It will quickly lose its fluffiness in the refrigerator. To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container leaving some room for expansion. Freeze for up to 2 months.
When ready to use, defrost the whipped cream in the refrigerator for a few hours. Fluff with a fork and serve.
Is There a Dairy-Free Whipped Cream?
There are non-dairy whipped cream brands available. Reddi-Whip makes almond milk and coconut milk non-dairy whipped creams. These are labeled non-dairy but may not be completely dairy-free. Check labels and ingredients carefully.
