Description
This beautiful, luscious vegan chocolate mousse is surprisingly simple - you just need six ingredients (one of which is aquafaba!).
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 cup caster sugar (or fine cane sugar)
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
- 13 oz dark chocolate, melted
- Topping: Vegan whipped cream, shaved chocolate, raspberries, rose petals
Instructions
- Chop dark chocolate and transfer to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until completely melted. Set aside to cool.
- Add aquafaba to a stand mixer and start beating on high. After about 5 minutes, add cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff peaks form (total, this takes about 10 minutes). Add sugar, salt and vanilla and continue beating until well incorporated.
- Gently fold in cooled dark chocolate using a spatula. Don't over-mix, otherwise it will start to deflate. Transfer mousse to serving vessels and refrigerate 1-2 hours - until set.
- Garnish as desired with vegan whipped cream, shaved chocolate, raspberries and rose petals (optional). Enjoy!
