Aquafaba Marbled Eggs
Supplies Needed:
Liquid Bean juice (Chickpeas, or other white beans will work for this project)
Electric Mixer
Food Coloring
Toothpick
Hard Boiled Eggs
Note: The bean juice should be the consistency of an uncooked egg white. If it is too thin, cook it down until it begins to thicken. If you cook it down too far, it will resemble a gel. no worries, just slowly add a little of the liquid back into it and stir to the consistency you need.
Directions:
Pour the aquafaba into a small mixing bowl. Beat until you see it staring to foam. Continue to beat and you will notice it increases in volume. The more you beat it, the more it increases and starts to lighten up. Keep beating until it forms peaks when you lift the beaters. The aquafaba is ready to use for this project when soft peaks have formed.
Scoop some of the whipped aquafaba into a mold large enough to hold the size of boiled eggs you are using. (note I used an egg cake and cupcake mold. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the whipped aquafaba into the container you are using. Drop food coloring into the foam and swirl it around with a toothpick. Add as many colors as you want before you swirl. Place a boiled egg into the mixture and roll it so that all sides are covered. Allow to sit 20-30 minutes. Wipe around the egg with a dry cloth or paper towel. (Refer to the slide show above for step by step directions).
