OK so in a previous video, Walking The Plank revealed his Pie Recipe.

It's was a very easy recipe, but what can we use in the UK instead of guarana (south america beverage) and where can uou buy emulsifier... the other ingedient? Sugar. That's Easy!

A hint - If don't have guarana, it could be any other soda. A hint, if you don't have guarana, it could be any other soda. I tried with Sprite and the result was bery good. In a video on YouTube the girl who makes the "fake chantilly" replied some comments saying could use another sodas.

I'm using tonic, Fanta, coke... all work.

For the emulsifier, I bought a big jar on the internet... and it lasts for a long time!!

The recipe indeed is the easiest, the cheapest and the fastest... and the best result!!

How much emulsifier to how much soda and sugar?

I put around 250 ml (250 g) of soda drink plus 250 of sugar and a tablespoon of emulsifier and dye. Whisked for around 5 minutes and voila!! around 1,5 L of colorful fluff!!!

Could you please provide a link, or the name of the emulsifier you bought?

Thanks!

250 WHAT of sugar?

1.5 L of fluff makes for what? 2 pies?

the emulsifier takes the technical name of 'emulsifier and neutral stabilizer for pasta and cakes', here in Brazil

the refrigerant needs to be extremely cold, freezing, to get the consistency

a mixer gives around 5/6/ 7 pies

I believe that 1 tablespoon of emulsifier gives, but tests can be done and 1 and a half spoon can make it even more consistent

Pie recipe aside, and with my knowledge of Spanish such that this video basically to me was a nice lady talking about her blender...am I the only one looking at the wiring in the background and thinking socket hanging off two wire, plugged into what looks like a cooker is kinda quirky from a safety perspective!

Is there any other emulsifiers out there for sale?
I did some research and google says eggs? Is that a viable option? Anyone ever try making this cream with this recipe? Pics and vids of the mess it makes?

Lecithin is an emulcifier that is easy to get a hold of.

From the looks of it this recipe consists of

Egg whites
Powdered sugar
Soda
Lecithin

Thanks Sam. That's it? No cream? If it's this easy to make this kind of pie I'm excited. It's been a while since we tried something new.

250 g!! So, the same amount of soda than sugar...

Two pies or a single big one!!!

And this is exactly the product I bought :

Intrigued by this recipe. Might be more exciting than if The Colonel revealed his 11 herbs and spices!

Bit of a silly question to add - what type of colouring is needed to give the pies that striking colour? I'd assume food colouring or paint - is it added before or after the mixing?

I use food liquid dye, but I think gel dye would work much better....

I'll try soon the gel...

this recipe will not clear eggs

and the most suitable dye is gel, blended after whipping, so as not to soften and to maintain consistent

This is very common in Brazil.

Does this recipe require egg whites?

I've just tried this recipe with 250ml of cola, 250g of sugar and a tablespoon of emulsifier and it came out more of a liquid than a cream. Would make a decent slime but no good for pies.

Would it work if I used less cola/more sugar and emulsifier?

The soda needs to be really cold. Everything needs to be chilled. It's like all the recipes for homemade cool whip - it starts to become more hassle than it's worth.

But what did you use for the emulsifier???

Special Ingredients Premium Quality Lecithin Powder 100 g https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00S9LH276/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ktH8Cb1RHYDRY

I used the 1kg paste that moho linked in an earlier thread. Apparently it has to be in a paste form for it to work?

Will try it a few more times - once with everything in the fridge for a few days, once with that powder that Trouso linked and once with half the amount of soda. It is a bit of a hassle to make but think it will be worth it if it comes off...

One made today...

Amazingly fluffy!!

Emulsifier has to be in paste...

Did anybody give this a try?

the emulsifier should be the paste
it seems you got it

This is the emulsifier paste used in Brazil.

It's all explained in this very same post...

Look for the older posts... all I know is there!!
