    Title: Chickpea Chocolate Mousse
    Categories: Dessert, Vegan
    Yield: 6 Servings

    200 g High-quality dark chocolate
    - (at least 70%);
    - broken into pieces
    120 ml Aquafaba
    100 g Caster sugar
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    Plant-based whipped cream
    Pistachios; roughly chopped
    Raspberries

    Preparation time: 30 minutes

    This chickpea chocolate mousse is made with only four ingredients:
    aquafaba, vegan dark chocolate, caster sugar, and vanilla extract.
    It's best served with plant-based whipped cream, pistachios, and
    berries.

    Melt the chocolate:

    Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering
    water. Stir occasionally until smooth and fully melted. Remove from
    the heat and let it cool slightly.

    Whip the aquafaba:

    In a large, clean mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the
    aquafaba until stiff peaks form. This should take 5 to 10 minutes.
    Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are free from any grease or oil,
    as this can prevent the aquafaba from whipping properly.

    Mix:

    Gradually add the sugar to the whipped aquafaba, continuing to whip
    between each addition until the sugar is fully dissolved and the
    mixture is glossy.

    Add the vanilla extract, then very gently fold the slightly cooled
    melted chocolate into the whipped aquafaba mixture. Be careful not to
    deflate the mixture; fold until fully combined and smooth.

    Chill Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls, then
    refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

    Serve:

    To serve, top each mousse with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle
    of chopped pistachios and a few fresh raspberries, then enjoy.

    Storage:

    Store leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator
    for up to 3 days. While not ideal for texture, the mousse can be
    frozen for up to 1 month.

    Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
