Chickpea brine (aquafaba) chocolate mousse
3 ingredients - It's really that easy....and fluffy and gorgeous....and light....and and and
ingredients
1 can of drained chickpea brine (aquafaba)
100 grams of very good quality dark chocolate - I used Green and Blacks Organic
2 tbs of honey
Instructions
1. Whisk chickpea brine until light and fluffy...or forms a stiff peak (my husband love this term....) I just hand whisked it (oh dear...sounds even worse)
2. Melt chocolate in a bain-marie (bowl on top of a pot of boiling water on the stove) and add honey
3. Fold the chocolate into the aquafaba and pour into glass/gars/bowl
It really is amazing and delicious and I'm not proud that fought the kids to lick the bowl. I may have got competitive and a bit shouty as I WANTED TO LICK THE SPATULA!!!!
Stiff peak formed by hand whisking ;o) ;o) ;o)
