Get the Recipe: Easy Vegan Chocolate Mousse (With Aquafaba)
This easy vegan chocolate mousse is light, airy and perfect for an easy dessert or snack. Made with aquafaba, it has a great melt-in-your-mouth texture and needs just 5 ingredients.
Ingredients
- 3.5 oz dark chocolate
- 3/4 cup aquafaba, liquid from 1 14-oz can chickpeas
- 1 tbsp lime juice, optional
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips, optional
Equipment
- Heatproof bowl
- Saucepan
- Mixing bowl
- Electric whisk
Instructions
- Start by melting your dark chocolate. This can be done by breaking up a bar of chocolate, placing the chunks into a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Allow it to sit there until it melts fully, which usually takes around 5-7 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes after at room temperature.
- Next, drain a can of chickpeas and retain the aquafaba in a large mixing bowl. Using a handheld electric mixer, whisk the aquafaba for at least 10-12 minutes, until stiff peaks form. Be patient with it, as the result is worth it 100%!
- Pour in the lime juice and the maple syrup, whisking for a further 2-3 minutes. Then, pour in the dark chocolate at the same time as whisking, taking around 30 seconds to complete the entire process.
- Use a rubber spatula to fold in the chocolate chips. Divide between jars or glasses and leave to chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
