Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 egg white or 2 tbsp aquafaba* (aka chickpea liquid)
- 1 tbsp sugar granulated white, turbinado, or cane
- ½ tsp orange extract or flavor
- ½ cup milk I used coconut milk, but any kind works
- ¼ cup orange juice if using fresh oranges, add a pinch of zest, too
Instructions
- Whip the egg white (or aquafaba) until it is frothy and mostly stiff with a whisk, hand mixer, or handheld frother. Add the sugar and whip until stiff peaks form and it sticks to your whisk. Add in the extract and whip again to mix and make sure the peaks are stiff.
- Mix the milk and orange juice in a glass with the zest if you are using a fresh orange.
- Top with the whipped orange floof and enjoy!
Notes
Do not add the orange extract until instructed or the egg whites will not properly whip. The powder will weigh the mixture down too much to froth properly.
Sugar: this recipe works best with fine, granulated sugar. But it also works with many other sugars. Make sure the egg white/aquafaba is stiff before adding the sugar, especially if using a heavy sugar like coconut sugar.
Aquafaba is the liquid left when you strain chickpeas from a can.
Eating any part of an egg raw can present a health and safety problem, as raw eggs do carry bacteria. If you'd rather not take the risk, buying eggs that have been pasteurized (look out for that on the label) or liquid egg whites in a carton, as these are always pasteurized, is a good compromise.
*When using aquafaba, adding 1/4 tsp cream of tartar will get you firmer peaks in your mixture. It works great with and without, but if you prefer stiffer peaks, add the cream of tartar.
