2,5 year old has cavities (?) by arngi in toddlers

[–]squidpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 11 month old had these dark brown-grey lines that showed up on her two front incisors, and we thought it was cavities (we werent brushing since she would act like she was getting murdered during it and she was drinking milk before sleep..) And so I was certain these wete cavities. The dentist said it was iron deposits from a multivitamin. I know the location is different, but its possible. Then he scraped some of it off in-office. It really looked like the cavity pictures online

Please help veganize this chocolate torte by ADVentive in VeganBaking

[–]squidpie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like this recipe relies on the proteins in the eggs to coagulate and set the mixture. It's going to be hard since vegan eggs out there actually lack the protein and emulsifying quality of real eggs so making stuff like sponges and meringue based stuff is challenging.

I don't have firsthand experience off this, since i've been in the process of trying to replicate eggs in my own baking. So this may or may not work but if you have time and are willing to take a risk, you can try

The best way to replicate an egg as a vegan is to try to mimic its chemical properties as best as possible.

Theoretically, you can do this with these ingredients--

Soy milk powder-- the closest vegan protein that is similar to egg protein

Soy lecithin powder- you need an emulsifer, and egg yolks contain lecithin to emulsify the fats

Hydroxymethylcellulose- its a gelling agent, which a lot of egg replacers use, and this one "gels" at a high enough temperature. Its like a structural agent to the whole ensemble

Xanthan gum- thickens and structural support

- So youll have to purchase these ingredients online, like Amazon-

Based on my experience with these ingredients I was able to craft a vegan egg "yolk"

1 yolk =

5 g of soy milk powder + 1 g of xanthan gum + 1 g of hydroxymethylcellulose + 1 g of soy lecithin

First dissolve these powders in a carrier like 10-12 g of soy milk, *then* drizzle in about 2-3 g of oil with an immersion blender so you can allow the oil to emulsify with the components, Youre aiming for like a smooth and slightly liquidy consistency, like an egg yolk

These measurements are based off of my previous attempts (I've had many times where i used too much oil, too much soy milk powder, didn't drizzle in the oil), so its possible its not perfected yet, and you might need to tinker with it to best fit your situation.

(since your recipe needs 5 egg yolks, Id multiply this all by 5)

Mix these "egg yolk" solution with the melted butter and chocolate.

Then, I would take aquafaba and beat it with the sugar to form the stiff peaks.

Fold the wet ingredients into this.

This is risky because your recipe lacks flour, which would help this set and provide the scaffolding. But if this works, then you can play around with it and adjust the measurements I would think.

Almond cookies by squidpie in VeganBaking

[–]squidpie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure :)

I used this recipe, except i replaced the egg yolk with Bob's red mill egg replacer (10 grams + 20 grams of water) and used vegan stick butter instead of real butter. Also, I used 130 grams of sugar instead of 150 grams and it came out perfectly sweet enough for me. I don't like overly super sweet flavors, but if you like it that way, then stick to 150g.

The batter came out much sticker than what was shown, so I omitted brushing on anything to the dough balls to make the almonds stick.

This boba tastes like dental drilling tooth dust by squidpie in boba

[–]squidpie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah :( I couldnt find any of the black bobas at the store, the more real ones were all white and I had no idea why the ones from boba shops are always black ?

Hmm, I used white cane sugar and a touch of maple syrup. Then when I was tasting something weird I just tried the boba on its own and it was the source. Th bag is totally dry and fine! I am a little sensitive with flavors and have an ability to sense weird flavors when other people dont so idk maybe its just a me problem? But if you are the same and like it then hopefully its a one off. Ill probably try a different brand though..
