MY COOKBOOK & KITCHENWARE: https://www.nourishin5.com

Ingredients

  • 160 ml Aquafaba (the water from 1 tin of chickpeas)
  • Optional: 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup (40g) sugar (I use coconut sugar)
  • 150g dark chocolate, melted (I use sugar-free dark chocolate)

Method

  1. Drain the liquid of the chickpeas into a large bowl using a strainer (reserve the chickpeas for another use, such as my Saucy Coconut Spiced Chickpeas)
  2. Add vanilla, salt and sugar to liquid. In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer with double beater attachments, whip until stiff peaks form, about 10 minutes.
  3. Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped aquafaba until smooth and combined.
  4. Spoon the mousse into a bowl and let thicken in the fridge for at least one hour. Serve with chocolate shavings and raspberries.

Tip

WHY CAN’T I GET MY AQUAFABA TO FORM STIFF PEAKS?
There could be several reasons:

Not whipping the aquafaba long enough – you should whip them for at least 10 minutes.
If you’ve cooked your own chickpeas, maybe the aquafaba isn’t concentrated enough – reduce it slightly by cooking off some of the liquid.
Sometimes, adding a pinch of cream of tartar helps (it acts like a stabilising agent).
