Why Vegan Mousse au Chocolat?

Mousse au chocolat is a classic, but the vegan version takes it to the next level: light, airy, and just as chocolaty as the original. With plant-based ingredients, it’s not only more sustainable but also healthier – without sacrificing taste.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it gently in a double boiler or microwave. Let it cool slightly.
  2. Pour the aquafaba into a large, grease-free bowl and whip it with a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed. After about 5–7 minutes, it should form stiff peaks, resembling whipped egg whites.
  3. If desired, gently fold in the vanilla extract for a touch of aroma.
  4. Carefully fold the cooled, but still liquid chocolate into the whipped aquafaba using a spatula. Work gently to maintain the fluffy texture.
  5. Spoon the mousse into dessert glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  6. Garnish with fresh berries, chopped nuts, cacao nibs, or vegan whipped cream and enjoy!

Notes

Tips for Variations:

  • Extra Crunch: Fold in chopped nuts or cacao nibs for added texture.
  • Fruity: Serve the mousse with a fruit puree made from raspberries or mango.
  • Minty Version: Add 1–2 drops of peppermint oil to the melted chocolate for a refreshing mint flavor.
  • Coffee Lover: Stir 1 tsp instant espresso powder into the melted chocolate for a mocha twist.

This vegan mousse au chocolat is a true crowd-pleaser: light, fluffy, creamy, and irresistibly chocolaty. It’s quick to prepare and will impress anyone, whether they’re vegan or not. Perfect for festive occasions or as a delightful treat just for yourself.
