Introduction:
This silky smooth vegan chocolate mousse is a decadent yet healthy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. Made without dairy, eggs, or refined sugar, it uses the magic of aquafaba (chickpea brine) or coconut cream to create a fluffy, rich texture that rivals traditional mousse. It’s light, airy, and deeply chocolatey—no one will believe it’s vegan!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate, at least 60% cacao)
3/4 cup aquafaba (liquid from a can of unsalted chickpeas) or 1 cup full-fat coconut cream (chilled overnight)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (if using aquafaba)
2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, gently melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
Whip the aquafaba or coconut cream:
