I’ve done it twice, once with chickpeas and once with white beans. The chickpea water whips easier and faster but the white bean water had a milder/no taste. I was trying to make meringue for pie and it did not bake well. It deflated. But it does whip up nicely. I haven’t tried again. I do want to use it as egg replacer in some kind of baked good at some point.
People get amazing results with the meringues. I must have done something wrong because it looked beautiful when it went into the oven.
I only miss it with lemon meringue pie. And yes, I would use the yolk for the lemon filling. I’ve made it without and it’s not the same, sadly.

Please post a picture of themYeah, I love anise flavoring. I’m going to try another batch tomorrow I think. I’m determined to do better with the texture.
I could easily eat falafel every day!One problem for me with using so much aquafaba for things, I have too many chickpeas, lol. I mean, I like chickpeas, but I don’t want to be eating them every day for every meal. So far I made chickpea tuna and I’m just finishing up that. But now I have another can in the fridge that I have to do something with. And I wanted to bake more cookies this morning which means I will have even more chickpeas to use up. Guess I’ll be googling chickpea recipes because I’m tired of eating them the same way.
I have to try making falafel myself because I am very sensitive to specific herb/spices. If I make it myself I can tweak the flavors to how I like them. I haven’t had falafel that I have liked so I stopped ordering it when I’m out. I’m not sure, but I think it might be cilantro that’s in there and I am not a fan unless it’s very, very subtle.I could easily eat falafel every day!
I'm selective about my falafel out as well. There are only two places I will order it out: Mamoun's in New Haven, CT, and Villa of Lebanon in South Windsor, CT, for the same reasons. I like cilantro but in small doses, and these two places don't go crazy with it.I have to try making falafel myself because I am very sensitive to specific herb/spices.

We need aquafaba to be sold like veggie broth in the box. I wonder how long it will keep after you drain the chickpeas. I was thinking of saving some the next time I use canned beans for hummus. I often add some to the hummus instead of water (as my recipe calls for a 1/4 cup of water).One problem for me with using so much aquafaba for things, I have too many chickpeas, lol.
