Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 3
Ingredients
  • 200ml of Aquafaba (approximately 1 can of chickpeas brine)
  • 100g of 70% Dark Chocolate
  • 10 drops of Stevia (or for any other sweetener of your choice make it 1 teaspoon)
  • ½ tsp of Organic Vanilla Essence
  • Tip of a teaspoon of Cream of Tartar
  • Garnishes: Cocoa Nibs, Berries, Crushed Nuts...
Instructions
  1. First, melt the chocolate in bain marie or in the microwave (just be careful with the microwave as it can burn quite quickly. Add the stevia and vanilla essence and mix well. Once the chocolate is melted, set aside to cool while you prepare the ‘egg whites’.
  2. Sift the aquafaba water before pouring into a bowl. Then, using an electric whisk (highly recommended) beat the chickpeas brine for around 10 minutes or until peaks start to form and you have a very consistent texture, like egg whites, you should be able to tip the bowl upside down and it should stay there.
  3. Now, slowly fold the melted chocolate into the bowl and incorporate it gently with the aquafaba. Be careful and gentle and mix it throughly.
  4. Serve the chocolate mousse into little glass containers. Garnish with your preferred toppings and refrigerate it for about 5 hours before serving.
