Add the 35g of aquafaba, which you haven’t beaten, into the dry mix.
Gently fold the previously whipped aquafaba into the dry ingredient mix in several addition, using a spatula or scraper.
Use a piping bag fitted with a plain round no.8 nozzle to pipe the macarons onto parchment paper.

Assembly and finishing

Turn the cooked and cooled macarons over, fill them with ganache using a piping bag with a 12mm plain round nozzle, and stick the shells together. You can store your macarons in the freezer.
Chef's tip : The French language has a special word to describe how to mix macarons. The verb “macaronner” means to combine ingredients together gently using a spatula or scraper until the mixture is smooth and shiny and doesn’t have any air bubbles.
Nutritional advice : Because it forms a light, airy mousse, chickpea juice, also known as aquafaba, is an ideal substitute for egg whites in macaron recipes for vegans and anyone who wants to avoid eggs.
