Vegan royal icing with aquafaba
The classic royal icing texture, with no egg white — made with chickpea water.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp aquafaba, chickpea cooking liquid (45 g / 1½ oz)
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar (80 g / 2¾ oz) — no added sugar: 1 cup powdered (confectioners') erythritol (120 g)
- ½ tsp lemon juice, or cream of tartar (2.5 g)
In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.
Method
- With a mixer, beat the aquafaba with the lemon juice until foamy and it forms soft peaks, like whipped egg whites.
- On low speed, add the powdered sugar one spoonful at a time.
The full method (4 steps), Rico's tip, the variations and storage are in the ebook “Breads, Cakes & Basics”. The English edition is coming soon.
