Ingredients
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (see notes)
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup coconut cream (see notes)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup aquafaba (see notes)
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
Toppings
Berries, hemp seeds, whipped cream.
Instructions
- Place the semisweet and milk chocolate chips in a double wall pot or double boiler. Add the coconut cream.
- Heat the mixture, gently stirring until the chocolate chips are melted (approximately 10 minutes). Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool.
- While the chocolate mixture cools (approximately 10 minutes), prepare the aquafaba and apple cider vinegar in a medium-sized bowl. Beat until stiff using a hand-held mixer (approximately 5 minutes).
- Add the vanilla extract to the cooled chocolate chip mixture.
- Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the beaten aquafaba, one spoonful at a time. Be careful not to overmix; fold until just combined.
- Transfer the chocolate mousse into individual cups or jars and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, top with berries, hemp seeds, and whipped cream.
- Serve the chocolate mousse cold.
Enjoy!
Notes
For a darker and less sweet chocolate mousse, use only semisweet or dark chocolate chips.
Grocery stores carry canned coconut cream. Or you can buy a can of coconut milk, refrigerate it and then use only the thick cream that solidifies on top.
The aquafaba refers to the liquid from a can of chickpeas, also known as brine.
