Aquafaba Vegan Chocolate Mousse
This mousse is nothing short of magic. Aquafaba – the liquid from a can of chickpeas – whips up just like egg whites to create a light, airy base for this rich chocolate dessert. Folded with melted dark chocolate, the result is a mousse that is fluffy, decadent, and 100% vegan.
It feels like something you’d order in a fancy restaurant, but it is surprisingly easy to make at home. Plus, it is a brilliant way to use up something most people throw away.
