Mint Chocolate Mousse
This recipe makes a smooth and luxurious chocolate mousse that is perfect for a date night or dinner party dessert. It’s simple and quick and can be made ahead of time too. Here Freya used our Mint Fondant bar but you could use your favourite flavour from our range of 100g chocolate bars.
Mint Chocolate Mousse
Servings: 3 ramekins
Ingredients
- 1 Rhythm 108 Mint Fondant bar
- 1 tbs plant milk
- 100 ml aquafaba
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar/lemon juice
- 2 tbs caster sugar
Instructions
- Break one square off the Rhythm 108 mint fondant bar and leave this to the side for later. Melt the remaining chocolate, either over a bain-marie, or in the microwave for 30 second intervals.
- Add the tablespoon of plant milk into the chocolate, stir until fully combined. Leave to cool until it is as cold as possible whilst still melted. If it is warm when added to the aquafaba it will seize up and become grainy.
- Add the aquafaba, cream of tartar and the apple cider vinegar to the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large mixing bowl if you don’t have a mixer. Whip on high until it reaches stiff peaks, meaning it doesn’t fall if held upside down. Whilst still mixing, add the 2 tablespoons of sugar one spoon at a time until fully incorporated.
- Take one tablespoon of the aquafaba and fold it into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated, then fold this chocolate mixture into the remaining aquafaba one spoon at a time.
- Be as gentle as possible so no air is knocked out. Once fully incorporated, divide between the 2 ramekins and allow to set in the fridge overnight.
- Use the square of chocolate you placed to the side earlier to grate over the mousse to serve.
