Ingredients

  • 7 oz (200g) Vegan Dark Chocolate I used 70% extra dark chocolate, but you can use 53% if you prefer a lighter chocolate 
  • 2 oz (40g) Vegan Dark Salted Chocolate finely chopped
  • 1 cup Aquafaba (chickpea water from 1 14 oz can of chickpeas)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice or lime if you prefer
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Open a can of chickpeas. Pour the chickpea water into a mixing bowl. You don’t need the chickpeas in this recipe, we’re just using the water, so store the chickpeas in a sealed container in the refrigerator for another meal.
  • Now, pour the lemon juice and maple syrup into the mixing bowl with the chickpea water. Add vanilla extract and use a stand mixer or handheld mixer to whip the chickpea water (Aquafaba) into fluffy peaks. You can’t overwhip the aquafaba. So just keep whipping until it forms firm fluffy peaks that don’t slide around when you tip the bowl. (can take up tp 10-minutes)
  • Next, melt the Chocolate either over a water bath or in the microwave. Let the chocolate cool for a minute, before gently folding it into the whipped aquafaba. 
    The aquafaba will lose a little of its fluffy peaks at this point is completely normal.
  • Now, gently and quickly (we don’t want the Chocolate to melt) fold in the finely chopped salted dark chocolate until it’s evenly distributed.
    Spoon the chocolate mousse into glasses or serving bowls. Cover with cling film and set the chocolate mousse in the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours or even overnight.
  • Serve with a spoonful of vegan whip cream, berries, and a sprinkle of shaved chocolate. Enjoy.
