Vegan Oreo Chocolate Mousse

A vegan, bubbly dark chocolate mousse with crumbled Oreos.

A super simple treat to make using aquafaba

• Aquafaba- the juice from a tin of chickpeas
• Dark chocolate
• Icing sugar
• Oreos

Before I lose you all at the word aquafaba, please don’t be put off. I know it seems strange, but it’s not a scary or hard to get hold of ingredient. Aquafaba is the juice that’s left over from a tin of cooked beans. Chickpeas are mainly used as they have a milder flavour to other tins of beans.

How do I use it?

Aquafaba is used an egg replacement in vegan recipes, in this recipe it replicates the egg whites by whipping into stiff peaks before folding through additional ingredients.

How do I whip it?

I always use an electric whisk for aquafabab as it takes a good 8-10 minutes to whip into stiff peaks. It’s really important to ensure they are stiff peaks. I recommend using a large enough bowl and adding a little cream of tartar.

Now back to the mousse, crumbled oreo base, a delicious whipped mousse and topped with extra oreos.
