For the best results, use high-quality vegan dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher. Chilling the aquafaba beforehand helps it whip up faster and creates a more stable mousse. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate during melting, as it can seize up. If this happens, try adding a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to smooth it out. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a handheld electric mixer. It may take a bit longer to whip the aquafaba. For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of espresso powder to the aquafaba while whipping. This mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGently melt the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl set over a simmering pot of water. Ensure the bowl doesn't touch the water. (Approximately 5 minutes). Remove from heat and allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly.
02
StepIn a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the chilled aquafaba on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. This process may take 10-15 minutes, so be patient. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to whip, ensuring it is fully incorporated.
03
StepGently fold the cooled melted chocolate into the whipped aquafaba until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the mousse.
04
StepSpoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins.
05
StepCover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to fully set.
06
StepBefore serving, garnish with your favorite toppings such as fresh raspberries, chopped pistachios, or shaved dark chocolate.
