- Hi, I'm Jerry James Stone and Happy 4th of July.
In today's video, we're gonna make this great vegan parfait.
The thing that I love about this is actually
the sort of quote unquote whipped cream part is made
with aquafaba, which is the brine from chickpeas.
Yeah, you heard me, chickpeas.
But you'd be surprised,
this stuff can do almost anything and today we're gonna make
a really festive, fun, colorful parfait.
And the reason I wanted to make it vegan is
because 4th of July foods are always packed
with sugar and so many other things
that aren't necessarily great for you.
So this is actually a healthy, healthier, way to enjoy
a great 4th of July dessert.
Let me show you how to make it.
So this recipe begins with the unlikeliest of ingredients.
We're actually gonna use the brine from a can
of chickpeas, which is referred to as aquafaba.
So basically, the liquid from chickpeas has a lot
of protein properties that you get in eggs
and as a result, you can make meringues with it
or in this case, we're gonna make a whipped cream.
Now I'm gonna add in some cream of tartar.
And what the cream of tartar does is actually helps
the proteins bind once you whisk them with the air.
So you get all that air in there from the hand mixer
and the cream of tartar keeps that protein structure
in place which allows it to hold and create
that whipped cream effect.
So I wanna mix in the cream of tartar just a little bit
until I get a little bit of a froth there.
You want just a little bit of froth before you start
and then we're gonna add in the other ingredients.
Now I'm gonna add in my vanilla extract.
Now I'm gonna add in some granulated sugar.
It looks all brownish right now but don't worry.
As the air gets in between the liquid,
as air bubbles get into the liquid,
it will start to get white just like the froth is.

There you have a tasty vegan whipped cream.
Now we're just gonna build our parfait.
Add a little bit of the whipped cream there in the bottom.
Add some blueberries.
Add more of the vegan whipped cream.
Add some raspberries, more vegan whipped cream,
what the heck, a little bit more.
Add some blueberries, a bit more.
Add some raspberries.
Top it off with a little bit more there.
Add some more raspberries on top there
and a flag to make it American.
Happy 4th of July.
How fun does that look?
Okay, so can you believe that?
Like I said, it's made with chickpea brine
but it totally turns into this lovely whipped cream,
layers of raspberries and blueberries
and that aquafaba whipped cream.
100 percent vegan, easy to make,
and the thing that you need to try
for this 4th of July.
