Tips & Tricks
Ensure the aquafaba is at room temperature before whipping for better results.
Use a stand mixer or hand mixer for optimal whipping; whisking by hand may not achieve the desired stiffness.
If storing in the refrigerator, gently re-whip before serving to restore some of the lost volume.
