Best Easiest Vegan Chocolate Mousse

Best Easiest Vegan Chocolate Mousse

1 cup aquafaba

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 cup granulated (white) sugar

300 grams vegan dark chocolate

Beat the aquafaba, salt, and lemon juice together either in a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld mixer. I highly recommend a stand mixer if you have one; as you will be able to multitask a the same time. If not wear some earplugs and be prepared to mix for awhile. This beating process can take up to fifteen minutes, especially with larger batches, though I find it starts to get quite thick around five.

Beat until it forms the equivalent of soft peaks of egg whites, then gradually beat in the sugar until stiff peaks form.

Meanwhile, while whipping mixture, melt the chocolate until smooth and allow it to cool slightly. Gently fold the cooled chocolate into the stiff whipped mixture. Mousse is now ready to eat However, the mousse will actually set more and thicken after being chilled in the fridge (individual ramekins or parfait glasses work great for this). The mousse will actually keep quite well for a few days.
