Fluffy vegan chocolate mousse with aquafaba

I’m so excited to bring this simple yet indulgent vegan chocolate mousse with aquafaba recipe to you, guys. As I’ve already mentioned in my previous posts, ever since I’ve read about the brilliant invention of aquafaba ‘egg whites’, I’ve been massively obsessed with it.

I’m part of an inspiring Facebook group solely dedicated to making things with aquafaba and I can tell you that every single person who tries to whip chickpea water like egg whites has the same reaction – that of amazement mixed in with excitement.

It’s because it’s a blooming genius invention. It opens up so many possibilities, not only for vegans, but also for people with egg allergies.

Who would have thought that something as basic as whipped chickpeas (most beans, in fact) cooking water can yield such amazing results. To make sure I have not gone mad and this thing doesn’t, in fact, taste vile, I made this mousse twice while a couple of our omnivorous friends were staying with us. Not only did they LOVE the dessert, but when I was making it the second time, they watched me whip up the chickpea water into stiff peaks as they could’t quite believe that it is as simple as it sounds. They were so impressed and vowed to make this dessert once they get home. It’s the best compliment I could have wished for. 

For the sceptics amongst you, let me re-assure you, this dessert DOES NOT taste of chickpeas at all. If I hadn’t just told you what’s in it, you would have thought that it’s an indulgent chocolate mousse, just like your grandma used to make. Go on, try it for yourself – you’ll want to shout from the rooftops about it.

PS: If you make this vegan chocolate mousse, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram as @lazycatkitchen and use the #lazycatkitchen hashtag. I love seeing your takes on my recipes!

  • makes: 4 portions (160 ml each)
  • prep: 20 min
  • cooking: 0 min

Ingredients

  • 1 cup /240 ml aquafaba (from 400g / 14 oz can of low-sodium chickpeas OR home cooked chickpeas)
  • 140 g dark (70% cacao) vegan chocolate
  • a generous splash of plant milk (optional)
  • 20 g / 1 heaped tsbp white caster sugar (optional, SEE NOTES)*
  • 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice (optional)
  • 2 pinches of hot chilli powder (optional)

GARNISH (optional)

  • 1 tbsp chocolate shavings
  • a handful of pomegranate seeds
  • a handful of chopped pistachios

Method

    This recipe contains a step-by-step VIDEO (see above).

  1. Break the chocolate into smaller chunks and place it in a glass bowl together with a splash of plant milk. Plant milk isn’t necessary, but I found that it stops chocolate from seizing (i.e. little chocolate particles from forming in the mousse) once it has been incorporated into stiff aquafaba. Place the bowl over the water bath and allow the chocolate and the milk to heat up very slowly (that’s important as chocolate is very sensitive to high temperatures) and melt into each other – refrain from stirring until chocolate is completely melted. Once the chocolate has melted into the plant milk, mix the two gently with a wire whisk. Take the bowl off the heat and allow it to cool down a little.
  2. Open your tin of chickpeas and drain the chickpea water into large glass bowl. The bowl and the utensils you’ll use to whip aquafaba need to be completely grease-free as even the tiniest grease residue can prevent aquafaba from reaching stiff peaks. One 400 g tin should give you 240 ml / 1 cup of chickpea water. Reserve the chickpeas for another use, like a salad or burgers.
  3. I recommend adding a teaspoon of acid (like vinegar or lemon juice) to the chickpea water to speed things up and stablise the foam.
  4. Using an electric egg whisk, whip the chickpea water into stiff peaks – this is super important. The best way to check if you have achieved stiff peaks is to invert the bowl with whipped aquafaba. If aquafaba slides down even a tiny bit, you are not there yet – keep on whipping until it does not move at all. I used an old, hand-held whisk and it took me about 15 minutes to get stiff peaks. If you are a lucky owner of a stand mixer, it will happen quicker. The good news is that (as opposed to egg whites) aquafaba cannot be overwhipped.
  5. OPTIONAL STEP: Once you reach stiff peaks, start adding sugar, bit by bit, whipping the whole time. If sugar has caused the stiff peaks to perish, whip the mixture until you get stiff peaks again.
  6. Check that the chocolate has cooled down sufficiently – it should not be warm to the touch or else chocolate may seize and you will end up with grainy mousse.
  7. Gently fold melted chocolate into whipped aquafaba using a silicone spatula. Do not worry if your fluffy mixture deflates once the chocolate has been added – that’s perfectly normal. By the time you’ve added all of your melted chocolate, the mousse MAY have more of a pourable consistency.
  8. Add chilli powder if using and mix well. Divide the mixture between 4 glasses. Gently stir the mixture between putting it into individual glasses as a bit of melted chocolate tends to drop to the bottom sometimes.
  9. Put glasses into the fridge for minimum 3 hours for the mousse to set. I tend to chill mine overnight and it’s perfectly set and fluffy each time.

Notes

*The exact amount of sugar depends on your taste and how sweet your chocolate is. Sugar isn’t necessary though, I make my mousse without sugar as per video above.

If you wish to make your own aquafaba (chickpea water) from dry beans, here is how.

If I use tinned chickpeas, I use the ones by an Italian brand called MARA.

    i couldn’t wait to make this for a vegan friend. I was horrified to use bean water. I though it would taste disgusting. I WAS WRONG. It was yummy. My chocolate did seize the first time. But the flavor was amazing. Next time I made it, it was spot on. Just made it last night and chocolate seized again. I am going to remake it today. Eventually will get the temperature right. I have passed this recipe on to many non vegan friends. This is truly a delicious dessert.

    Hi Ania,

    This looks great and I can’t wait to try it!

    Is it possible to use this mousse as frosting for a cake?

    I am not a fan of buttercream icing which uses vegan margarine or shortening.

    Keeping my fingers crossed that it can.

    Thanks

      Hi Laura,

      I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble. The only thing I can think of is that your aquafaba hasn’t been whipped enough – it needs to be so stiff that when you invert the bowl over your head it won’t budge (I do this test every time even though I’ve made it hundred times). Hope that helps and good luck next time! Ania

    is a glass bowl crucial to obtain stiff peaks? I whipped (using my stainless steel mixing bowl) for 20+ minutes and still never got to ‘stiff peak’ territory.

      September 25, 2017 at 11:21 am

      Hi Melanie,

      It’s not crucial, either glass or steel bowl should be fine – the point being that they are easier to clean and as opposed to plastic, they do not trap grease residue, which inhibits aquafaba from whipping. It’s hard to know why it hasn’t reached stiff peaks. Did you use tinned or homemade aquafaba? Was it chickpea aquafaba or cooking water from another type of beans? Was it watery or on the thicker side. Did you add acid? I assume you used an electric whisk? Ania

    It worked!!! Although I was a bit too generous with the lemon juice in fear of the materials being greasy. I used the aquafaba from a can of kidneybeans, which had already a nice chocolaty colour. Will definitely make it again.

    I made this yesterday and got the aquafaba to be really stiff peaks so all good there. However, the mousse ended you grainy. Is that due to the melted chocolate being too warm when folding it in? Tasted ok, just a bit grainy.

    Reply
    • Ania says

      October 23, 2017 at 9:06 pm

      Hi Lurene,

      It sounds like your chocolate seized, which happens due to the difference in temperature between aquafaba and melted chocolate, for example if your aquafaba was chilled prior to whipping or if chocolate wasn’t cooled down enough before mixing the two. Hope that helps! Ania

    Dear Ania,
    What an inspiring recipe, thank you for posting this!
    Could you tell me how to proceed when making aquafaba from fresh chickpeas? I usually soak chickpeas with a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda – is that OK? i then drain them and cook them in fresh water. Is it the soaking or the cooking water I’m using? I’m assuming the cooking water. Does bicarb of soda help aquafaba or should I best leave it out from the soaking process?
    Thanks so much and best wishes, Anisha

      Hi Mel,

      For orange flavour to come through, you’ll need something with a more concentrated orange flavour, I think. I recommend Cointreau (added to the melted chocoalte), for example – orange flavoured liqueur and maybe some orange zest or caramelised orange peel. Hope that helps! Ania

    Hi Ania,

    Just made this for the first time.
    I whipped the chilled aquafaba until I could hold it over my head in the bowl, then it pretty much ALL deflated when I added the chocolate.

    The chocolate wasn’t evenly distributed either without me really working it in, not a rich brown colour like yours. It was really light brown and flecked. I waited until it was cool – it almost seemed it was too cool to stir in. And sank to the bottom of the bowl through the aquafaba. I haven’t tried it yet, it’s chilling. The mixture just looked SO wrong 🙁

      Hi Amy,

      My gut reaction was that the chocolate must have been too warm, but you do say that it was almost too cool so I’m really not sure what to suggest. Aquafaba does deflate a fair bit once the chocolate has been added but it does sound like yours deflated way too much. Next time, perhaps try adding a splash of plant milk to the bowl with chunks of chocolate and allow the two to warm up and melt into each other. This should prevent the chocolate from seizing once you incorporate it into the aquafaba, but other than that I am not sure what else to suggest. Hope you’ll have more success next time. Ania

        Ok so it tasted great…

        The mousse texture was fine. However the chocolate was bitty. Not grainy but chunks almost like chocolate sprinkles distributed throughout.
        I really want to make this again but I am stuck as to where I’ve done it wrong.

        Also. I had a large bowl full of aquafaba mousse to begin with that only made two small pots once it had flattened and the chocolate had been mixed in.

        I have high hopes for this, your help is very much appreciated 🙂

          The chocolate ‘chunks’ make me think that your chocolate was cooled down too much. I know, it’s frustrating, but chocolate is notoriously capricious ingredient. I hope you will give it another go as when it works it’s really delicious! Ania

    Hi there! I’m looking for a decent vegan mousse to actually use as a cake filling. If I were to refrigerate it overnight in a tupperware as a large serving, would it still remain set if placed in between cake layers and refrigerated again, or do I risk decomposition due to the changed circumstances? I’ve done my cake filling with avocado mousse, but the avocado flavour was still pretty prevalent, so I’m looking for a vegan mousse that is a little calmer.

      Yes, I know exactly what you mean. This would totally work, but you need to modify it a little by adding a bit of fat, which will yield a sturdier cream. Here is the recipe to use. Hope that’s what you are after! Ania

    Hi Ania, Thank you for this wonderful recipe! I loved it! But, the only thing is that my chocolate sank to the bottom when I put into the pots. Is that normal? I kept going into the fridge to keep stirring… but, is that normal? Does that mean my chocolate seized? It felt cool to the touch so I thought it was ready? What do you think?

      Hi Meera,

      Yes, it does happen seem to happen sometimes but I find that if I give the mousse a gentle stir in between pouring it into individual glasses once the mousse sets overnight, it’s the same all the way through. I guess it happens because melted chocolate is heavy and whipped aquafaba quite light. Did your chocolate pooled at the bottom of each glass AFTER setting? Ania

        Hi Ania,

        Thank you so much for your response! Yes, the chocolate did pool at the bottom of each glass. So, there was a clear demarcation after it was set. The top tasted quite chocolatey, but there was a clear divide and wasn’t uniform. I’ll def try the gentle stir between pouring into glasses, because your recipe is amazing and I’m determined to get it right 🙂

          Hi Meera,

          If the chocolate sat at the bottom of the glass after setting then it feels to me that maybe aquafaba wasn’t whipped enough – was it definitely at stiff peaks? Did you invert the bowl to check that it isn’t sliding down even a tiny bit? I have not had this happen ever so I am a bit mystified, but that’s my best guess. Hope it’s going to come out perfectly next time! Ania

    Hi Ania,
    Ik made your recipe yesterday for my family’s Christmas dinner. The first batch of chocolate went wrong: I think some steam from the bain marie came into the chocolate so it hardened totally. I luckily had some extra chocolate in the house, so I tried again on a real small flame and with a lid on. That worked like a charm, took some time and a real effort not to stir! The aquafaba worked also very good, I cleaned al utensils with lemonjuice on forehand and it got really fluffy and voluminous. I topped the mousse with coconut whipped cream and some pitachio’s. Everybody loved it! Happy Hollidays and thanks for your recipes!

    Tried this and it was fabulous. Thought my chocolate had seized as was thick and paste like but put into the fridge then whisked it into the aquafaba when it was starting to cool and worked like a charm. The trick is to keep the electric whisk going for quite a while after you add the chocolate in. The cool air cools it down as it mixes in and produces a lovely smooth mousse. Added raspberries and crushed hazelnuts on top. My little brother is vegan and he loved it.

    This is such a great recipe. I have stand mixer and I poured in the aquafaba with 1 tsp or lemon juice and whipped up to wonderful strong peaks in a minute or two. This has been one of the joys for me in vegan cooking, the discovery of plant based substitutes for all kinds of things, eggs, whipping cream, evaporated milk, sweetened cond milk, etc…

      Glad to hear you enjoyed the taste. The separation usually occurs if aquafaba wasn’t quite at stiff peaks in my experience and the mixture deflates too much once the chocolate has been added. You need to be able to invert the bowl over your head and then incorporate chocolate by folding it in very gently. Good luck next time! Ania

If the chocolate was the right temperature the only thing I can think of is that aquafaba wasn’t at stiff peaks stage before chocolate was added (you need to be able to invert the bowl upside down without any movement from the foam) or that your utensils maybe had some grease residue as it is known to inhibit aquafaba from stiffening. Are any of these a possibility? Ania

    I just made this and added some triple sec to the melted chocolate. It turned out well but it wasn’t sweet enough or chocolately enough for me. Next time I will use much more chocolate and see what happens. I think it would also be good with rum added to the melted choclate.

    Was this related to how I prepared things, Or does the mousse need to be eaten within a few hours?” I definitely made sure the peaks were formed and could invert. I slowly add the chocolate, but still the mouse is barely firm in texture and I get the separation at the bottom. Any other thoughts why this might happen. I do live in a hot client and don’t use the air con in the kitchen while cooking – might this have something to do with it? Thx maggie

      Hi Maggie,

      I’m sorry to hear that the mousse separated. It’s certainly not normal, it should last approx. 3 days in the fridge, no problem. I have only experienced separation when I was in a rush and underwhipped aquafaba. It may also be due to the fact that you live in a hot (and humid?) climate or perhaps too much air got knocked out of aquafaba during folding chocolate in. Better luck next time. Ania

    Your instructions are spot on..
    I only had on hand 60% cacao chips and used 2tbs unsweetened almond/coconut milk – used lemon juice to whip the aquafaba in a stand up mixer, and it whipped! Used a pinch of espresso powder instead of chili powder. The chocolate did seize up a little but it just made very small chocolate bits on the bottom.
    Now I have to eat the chickpeas. 😀

    I never comment on recipes but I have to say this was super cool! I followed the recipe to an absolute T and it came out successful! Husband approved as well! The mousse did not have a chickpea flavour to it at all and it was such a filling dessert for being so light. The one thing I didn’t care for was how long it took me to whisk by hand. I actually spent a full hour whisking just to ensure that I reached proper stiff peaks. The hard work paid off because it came out perfect. Definitely getting an electric whisk now though! Thank you for sharing this recipe.. My eyes are so open now to the world of aquafaba.

      I’m delighted to hear that, Monica and I truly admire your perseverance – I don’t think I would have lasted that long with a wire whisk 🙂 . I have a very cheap and old electric whisk and it usually takes me between 10-15 minutes (depending on the volume) so please don’t feel that you need to go out and get a standing mixer. So glad you are sold on aquafaba, it is an amazing ingredient! Ania

    Thank you for this delightful recipe. I actually only had Goya salted chickpeas in my pantry so I called it a salted dark chocolate mousse. It was absolutely delicious. Additionally, I found it was helpful to incorporate the chocolate into a small amount of the aquafaba whip first. Then I add the chocolate concentrate whip to the rest of the mousse base. Worked out really well. Thanks also for the plant milk tip. I double the recipe and forgot to double the chocolate and ended up very carefully microwaving my dark chocolate chips in some plant milk. No seizing. I got lucky! Thanks again
