Mousse Ingredients

Method

Mousse Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tahini Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Chocolate and Tahini

    Once the chocolate has cooled, gently fold it into the tahini mixture until fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Whip the Aquafaba

    In a separate bowl, whip the aquafaba until stiff peaks form, similar to whipped egg whites.

  5. 5

    Fold Aquafaba into Mousse

    Gently fold the whipped aquafaba into the chocolate-tahini mixture in three additions until no white streaks remain.

  6. 6

    Chill the Mousse

    Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
