Easy Vegan Mocha Mousse
Fluffy, rich, and delicious, this easy vegan mousse has a great chocolate flavor. A chocolate indulgence in one bowl.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup/360ml aquafaba
- 1 ½ cup/210g 70%-93% dark chocolate chunks vegan
- 2 teaspoon instant espresso coffee
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate. You can use a microwave or a bain-marie. Let it cool down until warm/room temperature.
- Whisk the aquafaba with a mixer using the ballon attachment, or electric whisk until stiff peaks are formed, around 10 minutes.
- Dissolve the coffee in the water and add it to the chocolate.
- Add the maple syrup (if applicable).
- Slowly, add the chocolate mixture to the aquafaba, stirring carefully with a silicone spatula.
- Do not overmix, because the mousse can lose its air.
- Scoop the mixture in serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Top it with a garnish of your choice when ready to serve.
- Enjoy ;)
Notes
If you melt the chocolate in a microwave: add the chocolate pieces to a bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds, pausing in between to stir. Stop microwaving when chocolate is nearly melted. Continue stirring. The heat will melt all the pieces.
If you melt the chocolate in a bain-marie: Add the chocolate pieces to a heatproof bowl. Sit the bowl over a pan of simmering water and allow the chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally.
Use more or less sweetener, according to your taste. Or use a different chocolate percentage, e.g. 70% dark.
