Notes
- Whipping the aquafaba is quite long, but not hard. It might require a little patience, so don’t be afraid of whipping too long because aquafaba cannot be overwhipped. This can take about 7-10 minutes.
- You can also melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate for 30 seconds, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted.
- To firm up the chocolate mousse , it is necessary to refrigerate the mousse to set for at least an hour or overnight.
- You can also garnish it with homemade coconut whipped cream, fresh fruit, or any topping you love.
- For storage suggestions, this chocolate mousse could be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days, but be sure to store it in an airtight container.
