Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (dairy-free, 70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 ml Aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Melt the chocolate gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Set aside to cool slightly.
Pour the aquafaba into a large mixing bowl and use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to whip it until stiff peaks form. This can take 5-8 minutes.
Once the aquafaba is whipped, sift in the powdered sugar and add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Continue whipping for another minute to combine.
Check that the melted chocolate has cooled enough to be warm but not hot. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped aquafaba using a silicone spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Fold until the chocolate is fully incorporated and the mousse is smooth.
Divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls, smoothing the tops as needed.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set properly.
Serve cold, optionally garnished with fresh berries, vegan whipped cream, or shaved chocolate.
