This simple chocolate mousse, made using aquafaba, is an easy pleaser and a great way to get way to make use of the water you are draining off that can/pot of chickpeas. Plus, it is an extremely allergy-friendly option for legume eaters.

6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea water aquafaba
- 2/3 cup high quality chocolate melted (100 g)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cane sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2-3 drops lemon extract or another flavour of your choice e.g. lavender, mint, vanilla (optional)
- Shaved chocolate fresh berries, crushed nuts (optional toppings)
Instructions
- Melt your chocolate (on the stove or in the microwave), stir in any desired flavour extracts and set aside to cool.
- Add your aquafaba to a deep bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer and stir in the cream of tartar.
- Mix until peaks begin to form (can take anywhere between 8-15 minutes).
- Add the cane sugar and continue mixing for another 2 minutes, letting the peaks firm more. You should end up with a meringue that clings to the whisk thickly.
- Drizzle the chocolate across your aquafaba and fold it into itself until well blended.
- Spoon into your desired serving dish(es) and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Top with your choice of toppings before serving.
