5 Ingredient Chocolate Mousse
Chocolate Mousse with Aquafaba, to make the fluffiest of mousses. Whip up this dessert in literally five minutes and chill in the fridge until you're ready to serve!
Takes
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 150 ml Aquafaba drained chickpea water
- 150 g dark chocolate
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- 3-5 drops fresh lemon
Instructions
- Drain your chickpeas and pour the drained water into a clean bowl. Any grease will prevent your Aquafaba from whipping up! Pop the chickpeas in your fridge for another meal...
- With an electric whisk, whisk the Aquafaba on a slow speed, gradually increasing until it's on high. Add the few drops of lemon juice to help the Aquafaba stabilise and whisk even quicker. Whisk the Aquafaba for about 3 minutes until it's made stiff peaks and doesn't shift in the bowl. At this point, add in your sugar, one tablespoon at a time and continue whisking until you have a thick, glossy, meringue like texture.
- Melt your chocolate over a bain-marie and once the chocolate has completely melted, take it off the heat.
- Add one third of the Aquafaba mixture into the hot chocolate and mix well. Slowly fold in the rest of the Aquafaba mixture with a spatula. Do this carefully so the mousse doesn't deflate.
- Transfer into ramekins and pop in the fridge to set!
