     Title: Chickpea Chocolate Mousse
Categories: Dessert, Vegan
     Yield: 6 Servings

   200 g  High-quality dark chocolate
          - (at least 70%);
          - broken into pieces
   120 ml Aquafaba
   100 g  Caster sugar
     1 ts Vanilla extract
          Plant-based whipped cream
          Pistachios; roughly chopped
          Raspberries

 Preparation time: 30 minutes

 This chickpea chocolate mousse is made with only four ingredients:
 aquafaba, vegan dark chocolate, caster sugar, and vanilla extract.
 It's best served with plant-based whipped cream, pistachios, and
 berries.

 Melt the chocolate:

 Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering
 water. Stir occasionally until smooth and fully melted. Remove from
 the heat and let it cool slightly.

 Whip the aquafaba:

 In a large, clean mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the
 aquafaba until stiff peaks form. This should take 5 to 10 minutes.
 Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are free from any grease or oil,
 as this can prevent the aquafaba from whipping properly.

 Mix:

 Gradually add the sugar to the whipped aquafaba, continuing to whip
 between each addition until the sugar is fully dissolved and the
 mixture is glossy.

 Add the vanilla extract, then very gently fold the slightly cooled
 melted chocolate into the whipped aquafaba mixture. Be careful not to
 deflate the mixture; fold until fully combined and smooth.

 Chill Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls, then
 refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

 Serve:

 To serve, top each mousse with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle
 of chopped pistachios and a few fresh raspberries, then enjoy.

 Storage:

 Store leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator
 for up to 3 days. While not ideal for texture, the mousse can be
 frozen for up to 1 month.

 Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
