Airy, fluffy, light, heavenly chocolatey and so delicious tastes this vegan chocolate mousse without eggs. It is made with aquafaba and is healthier than the classic mousse au chocolat. Plus, you can make it yourself in a flash with very few ingredients. A detailed recipe for the vegan chocolate mousse with exact quantities and step-by-step instructions can be found below.

Aquafaba – the secret of the vegan mousse au chocolat

This vegan chocolate mousse is made with aquafaba – the drained water from jarred or canned pickled cooked chickpeas. Although this ingredient may seem strange to you at first, and you may have doubts about whether it will even taste good, those doubts are guaranteed to disappear after you try just one spoonful of this delicious chocolate mousse. Aquafaba, in fact, can be whipped into a beautiful vegan whipped egg white and provides the fluffy, airy consistency of chocolate mousse. It’s a great alternative to animal egg whites that can be used to make not only the chocolate mousse, but also many other sweet vegan cakes and desserts, such as meringues, soufflés, or macarons.

Healthier alternative to the classic mousse au chocolat

The classic mousse au chocolat usually consists of eggs, cream and often butter. It is therefore quite high in calories and less healthy. This vegan chocolate mousse without eggs and made with chickpea water, on the other hand, does without the animal products that contain a lot of fat, making it healthier. In addition, aquafaba is rich in proteins that are important for our body.

Light dessert for all chocolate lovers

If you love chocolate but always want to snack on something light yet chocolatey, vegan chocolate mousse is just what you need. Thanks to the vegan whipped egg whites made from chickpea water, the dessert tastes airy and fluffy. Chocolate makes it creamy and very chocolaty at the same time.

Chocolate does it

Besides aquafaba, chocolate is the most important ingredient in the recipe. It makes up the flavor of the dessert. That’s why you should use good quality chocolate with a high cocoa content and little sugar. I used chocolate with 70% cocoa for the recipe. Additionally, make sure that your chocolate is vegan.

How to serve vegan chocolate mousse no eggs

Vegan chocolate mousse is perfect for snacking on a cozy evening, for dessert after lunch, or for a party. It tastes incredibly delicious on its own. However, you can spice up the vegan dessert with various toppings. For example, a dollop of coconut cream tastes delicious on top and makes for a pretty decoration of the dessert. Vegan whipped cream goes just as well with chocolate mousse. In addition, you can serve it with fresh fruit. For even more chocolate flavor, sprinkle the dessert with chocolate chips before serving.

How to make vegan chocolate mousse without eggs: tips and tricks

• Use room-warm aquafaba for the recipe. If your aquafaba is cold, the low temperature will create solid chocolate chips when you fold in the chocolate. This will cause the chocolate mousse to not be fluffy or creamy.
• You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar to taste, or omit the powdered sugar completely if the sweetness from the chocolate is enough for you.
• The mixing bowl and whisk used to whip the aquafaba must be clean and free of grease for it to whip well.
• A small amount of lemon juice will make the chickpea water easier to whip, and a firmer consistency from the vegan whipped egg whites.
• Allow the melted chocolate to cool as much as possible before folding it into the vegan whipped egg whites.
• Do not stir the mixture too long when adding the melted chocolate, so that it remains airy.
• You can make many delicious dishes with the leftover chickpeas, such as Indian chickpea curry, falafel or hummus.
