  • 120 ml aquafaba the liquid drained from 1 can of chickpeas (about 1/2 cup) — save the chickpeas for another use
  • 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder about 5 g
  • 30 ml sugar-free maple syrup about 2 Tbsp, or to taste; real maple syrup or agave can be swapped in
  • Drain the liquid from the can of chickpeas into a clean, grease-free mixing bowl.
  • Whip the aquafaba with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form, the way egg whites whip — this takes several minutes.
  • Sprinkle the cocoa powder over the foam and add the maple syrup. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined, keeping as much air in the mixture as you can.
  • Divide the mousse between two serving dishes.
  • Chill in the refrigerator until set, at least 2 hours, before serving.
