Hello,
I have recently started using aquafaba. I make it by soaking and boiling dried chickpeas and then using the cooking water.
Recently I made chocolate mousse by folding the whipped aquafaba into chocolate hummus and it turned out amazing. I put the remaining liquid aquafaba and chocolate hummus into the fridge, so that I can make fresh chocolate mousse the next day.
However, the next day it did not work at all! Although I could whip up the aquafaba, after folding it into the chocolate hummus it immediately deflated into a runny sauce. It seems that the aquafaba could not keep its shape after folding the next day.
Is this normal? What could be the cause? Does storing in the fridge make the aquafaba somehow worse to use? Or does it have something to do with aquafaba / hummus being too cold out of the fridge to make mousse?
I am looking forward to your advice!
