Now on to the recipe...

Total Time: 25 mins

Servings: 8 small single portions (or 2 large portions!)

Equipment: Stand alone mixer or electric whisk

Ingredients

160 ml aquafaba (the water drained from one can of chickpeas)

165 g Rhythm108 Hazelnut Truffle Bar

25 g coconut oil

30 g – 60 g coconut sugar or maple syrup (optional / depending on desired sweetness)

Method

Melt the chocolate over a bain-marie at a medium temperature (45 degrees Celsius). Once melted add in the coconut oil and your choice of sugar (if using) and mix. Take off the heat.

Drain the tin of chickpeas and pour the liquid into your mixer (or beat by hand, but this is quite a workout!). Whisk on high speed for about 5 minutes or until it turns white and firm in texture. Wait until it forms peaks when you lift the whisk out.

Gently add the Hazelnut Truffle Bar chocolate and coconut oil mix to the aquafaba, folding it in carefully until the mass is homogenous. (Make sure here you don’t over mix or you will lose the air bubbles inside that give mousse its light texture)

Pour or pipe into ramekins or small glasses and place in the fridge to set. Remove 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with anything you like – from strawberries to hazelnuts, this is a versatile dessert. For a light, airy texture – this dessert is best eaten cold.
