Serious question. What do you know about Aquafaba!? Well basically, it's the drained juices from a can of Garbanzo Beans. And, if you're interested in calories, there's about 3-5 calories per Tablespoon, the concentration of everything else is so low as to not even register on a US FDA food label. When beaten, it whips into a type of foam meringue, similar to a whipped cream. And, it can be used in various ways. Today, I had the pleasure of experimenting with fabulous results. My four 1/2 cup servings of Aquafaba Mousse' are only 228 calories, 44g carbs, 14.3g fiber, 22.6g sugar alcohol, 7.1g net carbs, 3.6g protein and 16.8g fat. Totally worth the try, especially if you are fond of French Silk Pie!
Ingredients for four 1/2 cup servings~
1 cup Aquafaba~drained from one can Garbanzo Beans (try my simple Pepper Hummus with the left overs: https://foodfitnessbypaige.blogspot.com/2019/05/pepper-hummus.html

Pour Aquafaba and Confectioners in bowl and whip til stiff peaks form (I use my Mix Master), should take 5-10 minutes at the most. Meanwhile melt Chips and Oil in microwave safe dish for increments of 20 seconds, or til just softened, stir til smooth and cooled, add to beaten Aquafaba along with Cinnamon and Vanilla. Continue beating til fully incorporated, pour by 1/2 cup portions into serving bowl, chill til set. Add garnishments if desired, not included in macros. Enjoy :)
