Chocolate and Strawberry Mousse
With Aquafaba, the possibilities are endless. Today @raqueliscooking brings us a really simple recipe for dessert lovers: 100% plant-based chocolate and strawberry mousse. Don't forget to tag us with #Aquafabulous and @casaamella — we'd love to see your recipe and share it!
Ingredients
- 200 gr strawberries
- 100 ml coconut milk
- 100 ml Aquafabulous (a plant-based egg substitute)
- 1 dash of lemon juice
- 100 gr dark chocolate 70%
- Maple syrup or sweetener, to taste
Method
- Put the strawberries and coconut milk into the blender jug and blend until there are no strawberry chunks left.
- Melt the chocolate and leave it to cool slightly. Meanwhile, pour the Aquafaba into a large enough bowl — because it grows and grows! Add a dash of lemon juice, vinegar or cream of tartar.
- Using an electric whisk or food processor, whip the Aquafaba to stiff peaks, just as you would with egg whites.
- Once ready, divide the mixture into two parts.
- Into one part, gently fold in the strawberry and coconut milk mixture, a little at a time, using folding movements. Try not to overmix, so as to lose as little air as possible, although it's normal for it to deflate slightly.
- Next, do the same with the other half and the melted chocolate.
- Divide the two mixtures into dessert glasses and chill for at least 4 hours.
- Finally, decorate to your liking. You can add a few strawberry pieces or grate some chocolate on top. Easy and delicious, right?
