Ingredients for 2 portions
Preparation time: 15 Minutes + Cooling time: 45 Minutes
- 250 ml aquafaba
- 2 YOGI TEA® Maca Chai teabags
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 125 g vegan dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp cashew nuts
- 2 tsp pistachios
Preparation
- Bring the aquafaba to the boil and leave the YOGI TEA® Maca Chai to steep in it for 5 minutes. Then remove the teabags, leave the aquafaba to cool completely before putting in the fridge.
- Using a food processor or hand whisk and a clean bowl free from any grease, beat the aquafaba together with the xanthan gum at a medium to high setting for 5-10 minutes until stiff.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water and leave to cool a little. Carefully fold the liquid chocolate evenly through the aquafaba foam. Leave in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
- Finely chop the nuts and scatter them over the mousse shortly before serving.
- Tip: Guar gum or locust bean gum can also be used instead of xanthan gum.
