A chocolate lover’s dream this mousse is velvety smooth with a pillowy airiness of a rich mousse. No one would ever guess this no-bake, gluten-free, dairy-free, dessert is made with aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) .

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g Vegan dark chocolate (50% cocoa)
  • 1tsp cream of tartar (optional)
  • 1tsp salt
  • 3 tsp of vanilla extract
  • ½ cup plus 1 tbsp of aquafaba (from one can of chickpeas)

Instructions

  1. Place a large mixing bowl in a freezer for 10-15 mins
    Break the chocolate into pieces and add to a bowl with vanilla and 1 tbsp of aquafaba.
  2. Melt over a double boiler or place in microwave for 30 sec intervals until melted. Stir frequently.
  3. When melted remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. Remove mixing bowl from the freezer. Place in ½ cup of aqua faba and cream of tartar.
  5. Using a stand or electric mixer beat for 10 mins or until stiff peaks form. Unlike egg whites you can not overmix.
  6. Add a quarter of the whipped aquafaba to the melted chocolate and mix thoroughly. This lightens the chocolate, so it doesn’t weigh down the mousse.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate and 1tsp salt into the remaining whipped aquafaba.
  8. Fold gently until it becomes and even colour. The less folder the fluffier the mousse will be.
  9. Pour into serving cups and chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  10. Top with chocolate shavings, fruit or whipped coconut cream.
