What is Aquafaba?
Aquafaba is the liquid from canned chickpeas — and it works just like egg whites when whipped. It creates that light, airy mousse texture without using any dairy or eggs.
Best Peanut Butter to Use
For the best flavour, use a natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils.
We recommend:
Original Smooth for a creamy finish
Very Crunchy for added texture
Tips for the Perfect Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Make sure your bowl is clean before whipping aquafaba
Don’t overmix when folding the chocolate
Chill long enough for the mousse to fully set
Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavour
