Chickpea Aquafaba Chocolate Mousse / موس الشوكولاتة بالأكوافابا – CookingWithAlia – Episode 780

Simple ingredients, simple recipe, but the magic of food never ceases to amaze me. Here is the Aquafaba Chocolate Mousse recipe like you have never seen it before in the Creative Quarantine Series.

INGREDIENTS:
120 milliliters (1/2 cup) aquafaba (chickpea water)
100 grams (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
200 grams (7 oz) 60-70% dark chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chunks for topping

DIRECTIONS:
1- In a large bowl, add the aquafaba (chickpeas water), granulated sugar, and beat using an electric egg beater for 10 minutes or until the texture becomes fluffy and peaks are firm. 
Note: make sure to whip the aquafaba long enough for it to be thick and when you flip the bowl it stays tight.
2- In a medium bowl, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave (or water bath) and mix it with a spoon until smooth and creamy. Set aside and allow it to cool down a little bit.
3- Once the chocolate has cooled down, add it to the aquafaba meringue and fold it with a spatula until well combined. 
4- Pour the aquafaba chocolate mousse in 4 glasses and place them into the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to set.
5- Top the mousse with dark chocolate chunks and serve it cold.
