Dairy free, gluten free, vegan whipped frosting recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup aquafaba (see notes)
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar or lemon juice
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Beat the aquafaba with cream of tartar and honey/syrup on high until it forms stiff peaks.
- Add arrowroot powder continuing to mix on high until very fluffy.
- Add coconut oil. Beat on low for 5 - 10 seconds with either a hand mixer or a stand mixer until the whipped cream becomes rich and fluffy.
Notes
- To create aquafaba, strain a can of white beans or chickpeas and reserve the liquid.
- For a heavier frosting to be used on cupcakes or cookies, you can opt for coconut cream and powdered sugar, mixed with a hand mixer until peaks form.
- The aquafaba recipe is great for things like strawberry shortcake, pie toppings, as filling in between two cookies, or as a dollop on top of fresh fruit or hot chocolate.
