Our easy vegan chocolate mousse recipe uses just two ingredients - one of which is aquafaba, leftover liquid from tinned chickpeas. Creamy, fluffy and simple.Easy vegan chocolate mousse recipe
Chocolate mousse is certainly a crowd-pleaser and this easy vegan chocolate mousse allows you to please everyone while making the most of the aquafaba that your tinned chickpeas come in.
Aquafaba is the liquid leftover from your chickpeas and in baking and cooking, it behaves very similarly to egg whites, making it the perfect plant-based substitute in this easy vegan chocolate mousse recipe. Aquafaba whips best with an electric stand mixer but you can do it by hand with a bit of elbow grease and some patience. You want your aquafaba to be very stiff - any liquidity and your mousse may not set.
This recipe is so simple you’ll have to stop yourself making it every weekend. Well… Maybe you don’t have to stop yourself.

How to remix your chocolate mousse
Add fruit
Avoid high-water content fruit which may make your mousse too wet. Dehydrated fruit, dried fruit and berries will be delicious in your mousse.
Make a zero-waste coulis
If you have fruit in the fridge going soft, make a coulis by cooking it with sugar and blending it until smooth.
Serve it like a dessert paté
Present your mousse with a shortbread biscuit and a homemade jam.
It’s that simple! Bookmark this recipe and come back to it for the ideal show-stopper for any inclusive dinner party.
