Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 120 g dark chocolate, 70 – 80 % cocoa content
  • Aquafaba (egg white substitute), liquid of a 400 g can of chickpeas
  • 1 pack of cream stiffener, optional cream stabilizer consisting of starch, etc.

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

vegan, made only from chocolate and aquafaba, super airy and delicious

Roughly chop the chocolate and melt it over a simmering water bath. Then let it cool. Place a colander in a bowl and drain the liquid from one can of chickpeas. Beat the chickpea liquid vigorously with a mixer for a few minutes. When it reaches the consistency of “beaten egg whites,” add a packet of cream stiffener and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Pour the aquafaba egg whites onto the melted chocolate and carefully fold in the chocolate with a spatula. The melted chocolate should be cool by this time; if it’s still too hot, the aquafaba egg whites will fall apart. Divide the chocolate mousse among four dessert glasses and refrigerate for one hour to set.
