Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (dairy-free, minimum 70% cocoa)
- 400 milliliters full-fat coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
- 0.25 teaspoons cream of tartar
Directions
Step 1
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Pour the hot coconut milk over the broken chocolate pieces. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt, then whisk until smooth and glossy. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the aquafaba and add the cream of tartar.
Step 5
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whisk the aquafaba on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled to room temperature, gently fold in one-third of the whipped aquafaba using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the mixture as you fold.
Step 7
Gradually fold in the remaining aquafaba in two more additions, making sure the mixture is well combined but still light and airy.
Step 8
Divide the chocolate mousse evenly into serving glasses or ramekins.
Step 9
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Step 10
Serve as is or garnish with fresh berries, coconut whipped cream, or shaved chocolate.
