This is NO Has- BEAN! 🙈

Now where to start !!!!

Its me !!!! It’s Bean Juice!!! And I am standing proud on this fact 😂😂

Every Frosting and ‘Buttercream’ has a place in your life 😍

To me nothing sounds posher than Swiss Meringue Buttercream. That pillow of cake decorators dreams.

I’ve never been a fan of Standard Buttercream, as some will know ( it still has it’s place but way down on my box of tricks list ). My first port of call is my trusty Intolerance Ermine Frosting

But we all need that little opulence in our lives !!!

We all want to eat as well or if not better than regular folk ………

So I want to give you the delicacy that is Swiss Meringue Buttercream ….. but of course

EGG FREE and DAIRY FREE ……..aka Vegan 😂😂😂

Its a naturally Gluten Free Frosting so no issue there !!

And this is a step by step guide that you MUST NOT deviate from!!

(Cracks whip 😈)

Not alter ( bar the base ingredients to the amount you want to make , but the method remains the same !!!! )

EXACTLY THE SAME !!!!!!!

(Insert cackle 🙈😂😂😂)

So we roll with the Bean Juice……. Aquafaba the stuff you chuck down the sink when you open the tin of chickpeas ( or any other legume ) not on tomato sauce ……no in water please 😂😂😂😂😂

If you are interested here’s the font of all knowledge Wiki 🙊🙊

Although I am bringing you this recipe today. I will also not take credit for conception. That belongs to Gretchen Price of Gretchen’s Vegan Bakery. a Mistress in her Vegan magic and although shes not a GFer her hints tips and general openness about vegan baking and the craft is amazing

So is it difficult you might ask ????? Well it has taken be a couple of attempts to get it consistent and hence why the timings I’m giving you are exact…….no thermometer needed but you may need Alexa or your oven timer 😂😂😂

But don’t panic when you’ve made it a couple of times its as easy as………

ASMB ( Aqufaba Swiss Meringue buttercream Anne 😜😜)

Now it can be used for frosting , piping , filling and all the things you would use buttercream for …..simple

It can be flavoured…… I wouldn’t advise wet products its soft enough……usual flavourings freeze dried fruit powders and chocolate ganache is the best and easiest way to make it the chocolate version ( using 60g to the base batch in a 2:1 ratio chco to milk. far less milk than a standard version )

And perfect for adding gel colours just add them slowly and gradually

Right lets get conquering something even some standard bakers don’t and wont try…….but you can and you will 😍😍😍😍

So there you go…..you can do it honest….its fantastic to pipe with and something you really will not regret having in your toolbox for when you want to wow the in laws, bribe a Judge or just impress a new fella / lady friend 😜😜😜😜

Now there’s only so many pictures I can take of ASMB before you run for the hills but before I do I want to link something in….its only right and fair and Gretchen also has the answers for if it splits ( and this is the same for regular SMB too so might be worth the non GFers V of you having a look too )

So heres the link to the original recipe and Gretchen’s Site ….. the U tube video is on that page so you can have a look should you need it …..but l’m going to day that’s because YOU DIDN’T FOLLOW WHAT I DID 😜😜😜😜😜😜

Right pictures……and Kerry did offer a tongue shot when she saw a couple of these !!!!!

I declined as we could end up with an X rated Blog 😂😂🙊
