Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 150 ml Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing a double boiler: Fill a saucepan with a few inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Place a heatproof bowl on top of the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Step 2
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and add them to the bowl. Stir occasionally until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large, clean mixing bowl, pour in the aquafaba and add the pinch of salt. Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk the aquafaba on high speed for about 10 minutes until stiff peaks form.
Step 4
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk. Ensure the sugar is fully incorporated and the aquafaba remains glossy with stiff peaks.
Step 5
Gently fold in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the whipped aquafaba. Use a spatula to fold, being cautious not to deflate the mixture. Combine until no streaks remain.
Step 6
Spoon the mousse evenly into 4 serving glasses or bowls.
Step 7
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing it to set and develop its rich, chocolatey flavor.
Step 8
Serve the Dairy-Free Mousse au Chocolat chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit, mint leaves, or cacao nibs before serving.
