Delicious Aquafaba Strawberry “Ice Cream” / Mousse Recipe
Looking for a dairy-free, vegan treat that’s both refreshing and easy to make? This Aquafaba Strawberry “Ice Cream” is the perfect solution! Made with simple ingredients and packed with flavor, it's a delightful way to enjoy summer berries. Let’s dive into this creamy, fluffy concoction.
Ingredients
Aquafaba: from one 15-oz can of chickpeas (about 4-5 oz)
1 tablespoon maple syrup, or more, to taste
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
16 oz frozen strawberries
Directions
Beat the Aquafaba: Pour the aquafaba into a bowl. Using your handheld mixer or KitchenAid, beat it on high until stiff peaks form, which should take about 10 minutes. Don’t worry about over-beating; aquafaba is very forgiving!
Process the Strawberries: In your food processor, pulse the frozen strawberries until no large pieces remain. It’s okay if some small bits are still visible; they add texture. Set aside.
Combine Sweeteners: In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup and lemon juice together until well combined.
Mix Aquafaba and Lemon Mixture: Gradually add the lemon juice mixture to the whipped aquafaba, processing until just combined. Taste and add more maple syrup if desired.
Incorporate Strawberries: Gently fold in the processed strawberries until everything is evenly mixed. You want a lovely pink hue throughout.
Serve: Scoop the mixture into bowls and enjoy immediately for a soft-serve texture. If you prefer a firmer “ice cream,” spoon the leftovers into a container and freeze.
Notes
For an even more beautiful color, consider adding freeze-dried strawberries, raspberries, or dragon fruit.
This recipe makes a generous batch of about 16 cups, perfect for sharing or storing for later. The leftover “ice cream” can be frozen, but we doubt it will last long!
This Aquafaba Strawberry “Ice Cream” is not only a delightful way to cool down but also a great way to enjoy the natural sweetness of strawberries without any dairy. Perfect for vegans and non-vegans alike, this treat is sure to impress. Give it a try, and indulge in this light, airy dessert that’s both satisfying and guilt-free!
