Aquafaba - Chocolate Mousse

aquafaba vegan chocolate mousse

If you have a sweet tooth and crave the fluffiness of a mousse, we’ve got you covered! You’ll only need two ingredients (three if you want to add a tiny bit of sweetness).

1 cup of Aquafaba

1 cup of 85% Dark Chocolate

Optional: 1 ts of Honey

 

  1. Start by melting the Dark Chocolate in a bowl. You can do so on a very low fire in a pan or using a bowl in your microwave, minute by minute, checking that it never gets to boil.
  2. Once the chocolate is melted set it aside. Now take the Aquafaba and with the help of a mixer, whisk it until it forms stiff peaks.
  3. Add a tablespoon of the aquafaba mix into the warm (not hot anymore) chocolate, mix well.
  4. Continue adding one tablespoon of aquafaba at a time. So that the temperature doesn’t cook it.
  5. Once the texture becomes of your liking, you can stop adding aquafaba (there might be a bit leftover, don’t worry!). The more aquafaba, the more liquid it will become. You will be able to control it’s thickness by adding more or less aquafaba.
  6. Separate the mixture into small cups and set into the fridge for later enjoyment!!

 

Extra tip: If you’re not a fan of Chocolate you can substitute it for Strawberries.

  1. Take 1 cup of strawberries, clean them and remove the stem / leaves.
  2. Cut them in small pieces and add them to a microwaveable bowl.
  3. Microwave until they become kind of a jam. Let it cool down. Then use the mixer to make sure it becomes creamy without any lumps.
  4. Once cooled, add the aquafaba (remember, it must form stiff peaks), mix step by step until you reach the desired thickness.
  5. Set aside in small bowls or cups and enjoy cold!
