Thank you for sharing. I have tried the recipe several times and some things made a difference. After four trials here is what I found. It was not so much the aquafaba but other factors. Used the same aquafaba each time so that is not the factor that changed. The temperature of ingredients does make a difference! It fails if items are too cold or too warm. Room temp 73+- is best. Also, I tried without the same amount of cream of tartar. I was unable to make it work with less. Why did I try that because other recipes online require less cream or tartar so it should have worked, …no. If the fruit is not cut too small bits ( ¼in. or less), it will pool at the bottom and sit in a pool of liquefied stuff that becomes a chunk of ice once it is frozen. ***I also tried putting this mixture into an ice cream maker to see what would happen. Yes, it freezes the mix very quickly (7 -10 minutes) but it does not come out smooth and soft but rather with bits of crunchy ice crystals. You can still eat it and tastes good. But if you put it in the freezer, it becomes a large chunk of ice. (But…. If you then let it thaw out to half-melted, and then mix, it makes a great thick drink like those sold at convenient stores from the machines. (half liquid/half ice bits). I hope this helps others who want to try and play with this amazing recipe. I love it.

I tried the recipe, I didn’t use strawberries in mine, I used protein peanut butter, the texture is so smooth, overall it’s very yummy😋 I love it!! Thank you so much 🤗

Dear Sir,
I'm a bit of a mad food scientist ( and blogger ). While Im not a vegan, I'm very plant forward. This past weekend, I cooked up some Great Northern Beans. Those became Vegan Tuna Salad. 60g of the resulting aquafaba was used in making vegan mayonnaise to use in the abovementioned salad. After reduction, I still have 1 litre of aquafaba to use. So, your short about scoopable aquafaba ice cream caught my attention. Particularly, since its the dog days of August here in the U.S Midwest. This led me to the vidro above. Additionally, the cost to produce seems much more affordable than commercial dairy ice cream is to buy in the store .
Your recipe/ process seems very replicable. I'll definitely give you a shoutout in the upcoming blog post.

You are one of the honest ones. Thank you from St Lucia

I think there is trade off between fat and sugar content. I make my meringue for ice-cream with 1/2 cup aquafaba + 1/4 cup castor sugar. But I make soy cream with 1/2 cup soy milk + 3/4 - 1 cup oil. I purée fruit separately, with 1/4 tsp xanthan gum or the water in the fruit makes ice-cream icey (I like more strawberries, so more water). This is also nice with bananas or melted chocolate instead. The thick soycream means plain vanilla is good too.

Glad it turned out ao well for you! For less crystalline icecreams, have you tried natural emulsifiers - basil seed gel, chia seed gel, flaxseed gel and simmered down apple cider vinegar for synthetic gum free emulsifiers

It would be helpful if you wrote the ingredients in the description but besides that, I loved the vid!

i will try for sure! can coconut oil be used? does it remains scoopable after few days? of course if you have not eaten every thing before! like you make it 2 days ahead your party ... cheers from France

tried making it using castor sugar, it flattened the cream, will try using powdered sugar next time

Hi, made this, not really ice cream, but a sorbet. But nice and light as a somewhat alternative. "Somewhat" because of the oil and ton of sugar, albeit 'icing sugar, I used honey, and it was sweet enough. I would make it again, but as sorbet, not ice cream.

Your basic recipe discoveries amaze us. My wife put aside the chick pea juice in the fridge last night. With my children asking me how di they make rice cruspie, I dropped on your 2 rice crispie video, then your ice cream. Before the end of the video, my wife ran to the fridge and is already testing out your ice cream, with Maple syrup :) Results to come, lol. Result: used red kidney bean canned juice. For some reason, we are not aware it didn't work out. Opened to suggestions?

You can make icing sugar by putting raw sugar into the blender
