Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (dairy-free, 70% cocoa or higher)
- 120 ml Aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
Step 2
Melt the chocolate gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
Pour the aquafaba into a large mixing bowl and use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to whip it until stiff peaks form. This can take 5-8 minutes.
Step 4
Once the aquafaba is whipped, sift in the powdered sugar and add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Continue whipping for another minute to combine.
Step 5
Check that the melted chocolate has cooled enough to be warm but not hot. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped aquafaba using a silicone spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Fold until the chocolate is fully incorporated and the mousse is smooth.
Step 6
Divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls, smoothing the tops as needed.
Step 7
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set properly.
Step 8
Serve cold, optionally garnished with fresh berries, vegan whipped cream, or shaved chocolate.
