Aquafaba Chocolate Mousse
With basically 3 ingredients you can create this delicious aquafaba chocolate mousse. It is rich in flavour, yet light as air.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 120 g semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips
- ½ cup liquid from a can of chickpeas
- 2 teaspoons sugar optional see note
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- fresh raspberries & mint leaves to serve
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate chips over a double boiler, add the vanilla extract and stir until melted and smooth. Lift the bowl off the pot and allow chocolate to cool for 5 minutes.
- Using an electric mixer, beat chickpea liquid to meringue consistency, (it can take up to 5 minutes). Beat in sugar (if using) and set aside.
- Fold about 1/3 of the meringue into the melted chocolate, then gently fold in the remaining meringue. Divide between 2 -3 ramekins and chill for at least 30 minutes to firm a little.
- Serve with fresh raspberries & mint.
Notes
I find the mousse sweet enough using the vegan chocolate chips from Enjoy Life Foods. If you are using dark chocolate instead, you probably need to add the two teaspoons of sugar.
