Aquafaba Marshmallow Fluff

As seen at the Bayou VegFest in downtown Houma!

Were you at Bayou VegFest?  Did you come have some hot chocolate and marshmallow fluff with me?  I wanted to put up a quick post with the details of what I made.

For the hot chocolate:

I put Silk brand dark chocolate almond milk in my Instant Pot on Sauté until it warmed up.  This is no secret recipe, just a reminder that vegan hot chocolate is easy as can be- and nothing to be intimidated by!  

For the marshmallow fluff:

• the liquid drained from one can of kidney beans, also called *Aquafaba (most beans work for this- I've done it with black beans, white navy beans, chickpeas, and kidney beans)
• a pinch of cream of tartar
• about 1.5- 2 cups powdered sugar (to taste)

Using my KitchenAid mixer (which shook my whole table), I whipped the aquafaba and cream of tartar on high until the liquid became of foamy and creamy.  Then I added a little powdered sugar at a time until the mixture became shiny and fluffy like marshmallow fluff, mixing on high speed.  

That's it!

*You can also make your own beans from dry and use the liquid for your aquafaba.  I like to make beans in my instant pot (there's a bean setting) and then I reduce the aquafaba a bit after draining out the beans to get an even thicker and more fluffy liquid.

When I got home, I made a bean and veggie soup with the beans in my Instant Pot in just a few minutes.  It was SUCH a great day and it was so nice to meet so many of you.

For a savory use for Aquafaba, you can make your own vegan mayonnaise!
