How to Make Vegan Chocolate Mousse
- Place the chocolate chips, coconut oil, and plant milk in a bowl. Over a double boiler gently melt the chocolate mixture. Set aside.
- Place half of the whipped aquafaba in the bowl with the chocolate. Using a spatula gently start folding the chocolate and whipped aquafaba together, the goal is to incorporate the two tighter without deflating the aquafaba too much. Once the two are mixed set aside.
How to Make Vegan Peanut Butter Mousse
- Place the peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, and plant milk in a bowl. Over a double boiler gently warm to melt the coconut oil. Set aside.
- Place the other half of the whipped aquafaba in the bowl with the peanut butter. Using a spatula gently start folding the peanut butter and whipped aquafaba together, the goal is to incorporate the two tighter without deflating the aquafaba too much. Once the two are mixed set aside.
How to Make Chocolate Ganache
- Place the chocolate chips, coconut oil in a bowl. Over a double boiler gently melt the chocolate mixture. Set aside.
How to Whip Aquafaba
- ¾ cup of Aquafaba equals 1 can of garbanzo beans. Place the Aquafaba in the refrigerator.
- Make sure the bowl that you whip the Aquafaba in very clean as well as the whip attachment. You will need to use a handle-held mixer or a kitchen aid mixer.
- Place the Aquafaba and the rice wine vinegar in the bowl, start whipping at medium speed, when the Aquafaba starts to foam and turn white, turn the speed up to high and whip until you reach stiff peaks.
How to Build the Mousse
- Using an ice cream scoop place the chocolate mousse in a glass cup, filling about just under halfway. Gently pat the bottom of the glass on your hand to level off the chocolate mousse. Repeat with the peanut butter mousse. Place the in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight. The peanut butter mousse needs to be firm enough to hold the chocolate ganache.
- The chocolate ganache needs to be warm to spread evenly over the top of the peanut butter mousse but not so hot that it melts the peanut butter mousse. Gently top the mousse and swirl the glass around in a circular motion to create an even coating.
- Garnish the with roasted chopped peanuts. Place back in the refrigerator to set the ganache for 3 minutes or just enough to set the chocolate.
