## Abstract

The present invention discloses an aerated confectionary, comprising: a liquid phase; and a dispersed gaseous phase; wherein said liquid phase comprises: a saccharide-rich plant product; and at least one stabilizer. The invention also discloses a method for the production of plant-based aerated confectionary characterized by density of about O 0.25 to about O 0.8 g/ml, the method comprising steps of obtaining at least one saccharide-rich plant product; separating the liquid component of said extract; enriching the saccharide content of said liquid; obtaining at least one stabilizing agent; mixing said enriched liquid and said stabilizing agent(s) to obtain a homogeneous mass; heating said mass; aerating said mass; and cooling said aerated mass.
