Ingredients
- 9 T chickpea brine, the water drained from a can of chickpeas
- 500 g / 4 c icing sugar
- 1 t vanilla extract (optional)
- 1-2 T milk or dairy alternative
Directions
- 1. Whisk the chickpea water with an electric mixer until foamy. Begin to gradually add the first 3-3.5 c sugar to the mixture and continue to mix on high speed until the mixture is thick and glossy.
- 2. Stir in the rest of the sugar (and vanilla if using), mixing until soft peaks are formed.
- 3. To make the icing thicker, add more sugar and to thin it out, add more chickpea water or 1-2 T of milk or dairy alternative.
- 4. The mixture will keep in the refrigerator. Stir to assess consistency, and adjust by adding a bit of milk/dairy alternative if needed.
