vanilla aquafaba whipped cream

by Jackie Newgent  |  January 17, 2024  |  1 Comment
I’m a big fan of this vegan aquafaba whipped cream. This fluffy stuff is kind of like a cross between whipped cream, marshmallow fluff, and meringue. It’s not a superfood, but it is super yum. Whenever I have remaining chickpea canned liquid (which is often, since I make hummus more than most humans), I love finding a good use for it. This is my favorite obsession to make with the liquid (aquafaba) when I need something sweet!

I was planning to serve just a little snack of middle eastern nibbles. But after browsing through the pages of my talented friend Frances Largeman-Roth’s awesome new book, Everyday Snack Tray, I was inspired to transform it into a snack board. And since it’s nearly Christmas, I let my favorite holiday do the rest of the inspo. This holiday tree snack board is so much more joyful than simply eating sliced cucumbers w/dip, right?!

There are so many things I love about fall. When it comes to food, roasted winter squash is at the top of my list. I adore its texture, sweet-savory taste, heartiness, and color.

jerusalem bagel-style cherry tomato galette

I love playing with my food—which is how this recipe came to be! After dining at a restaurant that had Jerusalem bagel sandwiches, I had a craving for the bready delight. That’s probably because I couldn’t buy just the bagel itself at the restaurant. At the same time, I happened to have lots and lots of cherry tomatoes on hand—and was thinking I’d make a tomato galette with them. I loosely married the ideas together and this Jerusalem Bagel-Style Cherry Tomato Galette became the result. And it’s a winner!
