    I myself am not a vegan and don't have allergies, but I think this recipe is wonderful and you are a genius, this is groundbreaking stuff and it's only thanks to you and your dedication that we can come to know and love recipe a like this one. I really do love the fact that this channel is not like the other baking channels, but it's more of an experience, where you teach us what you know but we also learn things from each other. This is what sets you on another level from anyone else, I've been a supporter since way back to the very beginning of the first channel and everyday i love and appreciate even more your work, I wish you the best in life cause you deserve it!

      MrSasyB Wow thankyou so much for this perspective - I often see it just from my side and how I am doing and what I am supposed to be doing (or think I am supposed to be doing LOL) so this is nice to know that some people feel that way! And now that you mention it- YEAH! it IS that way!

    • @noneofyourbusiness273
      @noneofyourbusiness273 5 років тому +12

      Well, when you're doing swiss meringue, you have to put the egg and sugar mixture in water bath until the mixture reach at least 70°C, at that temperature the eggs are already 'cooked' basically, so it's samonella free; and with the italian meringue the syrup that is added to the eggs, 'cook' them; so it's also salmonella free

    I've heard about aquafaba from vegan friends but never tried it until now. Made vanilla, blueberry ice cream. Amazing!!! Tastes exactly like meringue. Soft, fluffy, delicious, doesn't get too hard to scoop, like other dairy free ice creams...All from bean water, mind blown! New fav, I didn't think it was possible, like when people say kale chips taste just like real chips, lols. I just found you, Great video, lady! I'd love to see a video with you using your aquafaba buttercream recipie to pipe with complex russian tips, any tips or tricks you have for both piping and storing vegan buttercream topped treats after piping. I wonder what your experience is with how stable it is compared to dairy or egg based icings?...sitting out on a table, on a warm day...or how long it will keep?It's too delicious to last for very long!!!

    Im glad someone else also did this...when the first aquafaba meringues hit the scene in a vegan magazine,i told the owner i was gonna try to make a vegan swiss meringue buttercream due to the fact that now our industry is being impacted hard due to the egg shortage and now for the past few months ive been making this vegan buttercream and noone has figured it out... my next experiment im trying is to c if i can get the same result using the water from dry beans that have been boiled because i really dont eat canned beans and also if i can get the same reaction from other beans than just chickpeas even though they say chicpeas have a higher protein count....

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  9 років тому

      Jasmin Rosario Hey there, I use the water from dried beans also (its actually what I used in this video- because I too do not like canned food) I have some chickpea water in the fridge right now from dried beans and it is so gelatinous and amazing! I have to make a sponge cake with it or something!

      Cinnamon Sweet Shoppe The staggering cost is due to a recent outbreak of bird flu that has wreaked havoc on chicken/poultry farms here in the US. Many birds, both chickens and turkeys had to be slaughtered. Yet another reason to go egg free. :(

  • @elizabethwebb3273
    @elizabethwebb3273 6 років тому +1

    Hi Gretchen. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us this. Really appreciate it. However I would like to ask. Can the aqua faba be made from scratch? For instance I usually purchase lots of chic peas. I would soak it over night, discard the water, rinse and pressure cook. There is usually liquid when I am through. Can that liquid be used?.

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  6 років тому

      ythanks and you're welcome too! Yes definitely! You can use the water from cooking your own beans for sure. You may have to just reduce it down again to get it nive and thick and gelatinous

    This is so perfect . What shortening did you use ?? Any substitute for shortening ??

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  4 роки тому

      Hey thanks! I was using Sweetex Hi Ratio shortening at first - since I was still able to get that from my bakery days. But as I got farther out of the "pro bakery loop" it became near impossible to get, but that's kinda a good thing since you guys couldn't get it either, so I had to adjust to a more "home baker" setting. That said- I tried Spectrum- hated it, good taste terrible stability almost made it soupy. Used Crisco, terrible mouth feel and greasiness, but super stable (which is after all the ONLY reason we use shortening in the first place) SO.... I switched to all vegan butter which I love the best- however it is less stable of course, meaning just softer, not like it's going to melt or anything like that :)

  • @irisbodypaint4754

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  8 місяців тому +1

      Hi Thanks for checking it out, while some people have said they CAN get it to whip up firm with a hand beater, it stresses the little machine out really bad. It seems the balloon whip of an electric stand mixer which has super mega power is the best for this job (unfortunately, not everyone has one :/

  • @easyplease7381
    @easyplease7381 6 років тому +3

    I have a question about what kind of shortening you use in your buttercream? I made the coffee buttercream and had great success the first time...while having my mind blown at what aquafaba can do may I say. I made a chocolate buttercream after that by adding about 1/3 cup of cocoa to the icing sugar. The buttercream this time wasn't very sturdy at all. Not like yours looks. I used the Earth Balance in the yellow tub. What am I doing wrong? Please! Throw me a life line!
    Thanks for your cutting edge videos. Your enthusiasm and attention to detail in teaching makes your vids a pleasure to watch. You obviously know what you're doing!

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  6 років тому +4

      Hi Thankyou! I find that the shortening really makes all the difference, as well as using sticks of vegan butter (like earth balance although EB has salt and can be offensive to some with sensitive palletes- I think Im just getting used to it LOL) I was using sweetex (before they went transfat free which since then- their new blend is giving all sorts of problems for stability) so I have resorted back to Crisco which is definitely sturdier, but not as pleasing to taste.
      But as for adding the cocoa to the buttercream, this really shouldn;t make it too unstable, however sometimes adding cooled melted chocolate will be better because once chocolate is colder it is "harder" so to speak.

      Simone Douglas HI Simone! Great ! I hope you try it! I do write more info in length about the storage etc on the blog post with the ingredients- just click the link in the description box- but it definitely holds it shape- I used this icing for my cousins carrot cake cupcakes, they stayed at room temp (and it was quite warm in there) for about 4 hours!

    Hi! I was wondering if I could skip out on the shortening in this recipe ? Will it change the consistency of buttercream if I do?

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  2 роки тому

      Yes you can do all vegan butter, shortening is for stability, so the consistency will be slightly softer, but if this is not an issue for you than it's great! I rarely use shortening anymore

    I’ve baked with Aquafaba before.when I was trying to make a lemon meringue pie. what happened was that the merengue the faba created separated in the refrigerator. Is this because I didn’t reduce it beforehand and does this buttercream separate and become watery after a while especially when you’re storing? If I have an already decorated cupcake in the refrigerator will the BC collapse ?

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  6 років тому

      I have not had trouble with separating for meringues or buttercream using AF.
      I actually have a buttercream cake on the counter for 3 days and it is just as perfect as it was when I made it.
      Perhaps you didnt add enough sugar to the meringue (or cream of tartar really helps too)
      You can also add a 1/2tsp xanthan gum of you like

    Store cupcakes with frosting in the fridge for a couple of days? Store them separately until ready to eat? How long can it stay out in the open air? Is it beneficial to add a bit of a cream of tartar?.... sorry for so many questions lol

    • @ColinsCity

      i used cream or tartar just to be extra safe, it's definitely a requirement if you're making the vegan italian meringue buttercream. I think this buttercream works the exact same way as swiss buttercream, i always cover my cakes when leaving them out and they can keep for about a week.

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  3 роки тому +1

      Hey thanks, I feel like it is very hard to tell the difference in stability between the two, but many people would argue the Italian is more stable. I believe stability depends more on the type of vegan butter you use (lowest moisture as possible and using shortening helps tremendously) and Yes to adding cream of tartar

    Hi Gretchen! Thanks so much for this. You referenced your original Swiss buttercream recipe which contains dairy butter. Can you help me find the recipe? I cannot. Basically I am wondering if I do it exactly like this video but just swap out the eb or butter. do I still use crisco if I am using butter? Thanks so much.

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  4 роки тому

      I am not really sure what you are asking? This was one of my very first vegan recipes/videos before even I fully transitioned.
      But here is the written recipe for more info www.gretchensveganbakery.com/aquafaba-swiss-buttercream-recipe/
      Yes to swapping more Vegan butter for crisco, it will just be less stable, crisco is very heavy & greasy, and since we cannot get ho ratio (or at least it can be difficult to find it) I resorted to Crisco at the time of writing the recipe, but nowadays I just use all Vegan butter, its way better, but softer.

Can I also do regular butter only and not Crisco? The same way you use just EB now? and if so, should I use the combined weight of the crisco and EB to equal my butter quantity? 565g BUTTER or 565g EB. Do any adjustments need to be made to quantity if I am just using ONLY EB or only butter without the crisco? Thank you so much, Gretchen. Thank you for taking time and answering so many questions. I am so grateful : )
