    If you have been wondering how to make fluffy French chocolate mousse without eggs aquafaba is your answer! This 2 ingredient chocolate mousse is quick and easy to make.

    Chocolate mousse (mousse au chocolat in French) is such a classic dessert in all French families I had to find how to make it without eggs and without dairy (as I'm intolerant to both).

    I found THE best solution when I found out about aquafaba. This 2 ingredient chocolate mousse recipe is not only super easy and quick to make but also budget friendly and zero waste!

    How to make this into an elegant dessert

    Another great thing about this chocolate mousse is that it makes a perfect dessert for a romantic dinner, date night, Valentine's Day or if you host an elegant dinner party.

    To give it an instant elegant touch, serve this chocolate mousse in beautiful glasses. Make sure to transfer the mousse in the glasses right after making it, before it sets in in fridge.

    What is mousse au chocolat

    First of all, let's discuss about the meaning of the word "mousse".

    Mousse is a French word that means "foam". So we use it to name dishes that have a "foamy" texture or what you would call fluffy.

    So a real traditional French chocolate mousse (or mousse au chocolat) is supposed to have a fluffy and light texture. Otherwise, you wouldn't call it "mousse" but "crème au chocolat".

    Ingredients for this mousse au chocolat recipe

    • aquafaba a.k.a chickpea water. If you're using aquafaba form a can of chickpeas, there's a good chance that it already contains salt (check the ingredients on the can to make sure). In this case, do not add any salt. On the other hand, if you're using homemade aquafaba that hasn't been salted already, add a pinch a sea salt before whipping it. If you have never heard of aquafaba before and need to learn everything about it you can read this beginner's guide to aquafaba.
    • dark chocolate (chips or bars)

    See recipe card for quantities.

    How to make this chocolate mousse

    1. Melt the chocolate in order to get a fairly liquid chocolate (add a little bit of water if needed)
    2. In a large bowl, whip the aquafaba until the foam reaches a firm and robust state (when you turn the bowl upside down, the foam should stick to the bowl).
    3. Fold whipped aquafaba to chocolate. Please read below for further explanation and watch the video to see the process.
    4. Once all the foam has been incorporated to the chocolate, you can either leave your chocolate mousse in the bowl you used to prepare it and directly store in the fridge to set. Or you can transfer the chocolate mousse into individual glasses to give it an instant elegant touch. Whatever your choice, put your chocolate mousse in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set. And voilà! Bon appétit!

    How to fold whipped aquafaba to chocolate to achieve a fluffy texture

    Watch the video below to see how to fold whipped aquafaba to make a fluffy and light chocolate mousse.

    To mix the whipped foam with the melted chocolate, take about two tablespoons of foam and transfer it in the melted chocolate and then begin to mix the 2 ingredients.

    Proceed with this mixing with caution, so you don't flatten the foam. In order to do so, lift and place on top, the mixture that was underneath.

    This movement of placing the mixture from below on top is the only technique that you should use. And you must do this with large, generous gestures, measured yet swift, going out from the middle to the edges, continually turning the bowl on the table.

    Keep doing this, until all the foam has been incorporated to the melted chocolate.
