The Perfect Three Ingredient Chocolate Mousse

The perfect fluffy yet creamy vegan chocolate mousse served with a beautiful caramelised nutty topping for texture contrast and additional deliciousness.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate mousse

  • 320g / 11,3 oz silken tofu
  • 160g / 5,6 oz dark chocolate, melted
  • 120ml / 1/2 cup aquafaba (chickpea water)

Caramelised Nutty Oat Topping

  • 40g / 1,4 oz roughly chopped roasted and salted nuts
  • 2 tbsp oats
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or other liquid sweetener

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, mix the tofu completely smooth. While the food processor is still running, pour in the melted chocolate and mix until combined. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the aquafaba as hard and fluffy as possible. It may take a couple of minutes. Then transfer around half the whipped aquafaba to the chocolate mixture and carefully fold it together. Add the rest of the aquafaba and repeat the process.
  3. Divide the mousse between four serving bowls and let set in the fridge.
  4. Make the nutty oat topping by dry roasting the nuts and oats for a couple of minutes in a pan on medium to high heat. Be careful not to burn it!
  5. Once the oats have started to get a nice nutty flavour, take the pan off the heat and add the maple syrup. Stir until everything coated and continue to stir every once in a while until crispy. Divide the topping between the serving bowls, and voilà. Enjoy!
