This vegan espresso martini chocolate mousse is quick, easy, delicious and ultra rich. A sophisticated dessert for grown ups only!

I am a coffee addict and a cocktail fanatic – these two things certainly came into play to create this vegan espresso martini chocolate mousse. A dessert of few ingrediends but remarkably intense flavour, it is perfect as a last minute addition to your dinner party.

Vegan chocolate mousse is made with aquafaba and melted chocolate with a little maple syrup for sweetness. It doesn’t sound like it would create a delicious chocolate mousse but, amazingly, those seemingly incompatible ingredients blend together to create a mousse with fantastic texture that simply melts in your mouth.

You can flavour the mousse however you like – or layer it with coconut mousse as I have done in this recipe. But I wanted to create an Espresso Martini style mousse so I added strong coffee, vodka and coffee liqueur.

Needless to say this makes it a decidedly adult dessert in the best possible way. You could replace the coffee with decaff if you like and leave the alcohol out for a virgin mousse!

Vegan espresso martini chocolate mousse Recipe Type: Dessert Author: Lucy Parissi | Supergolden Bakes Prep time: 10 mins Total time: 10 mins Serves: 4-6 servings This vegan espresso martini chocolate mousse is quick, easy, delicious and ultra rich. A sophisticated dessert for grown ups only! Ingredients 200g | 7oz good quality dark chocolate (dairy-free) aquafaba drained from a 400g/14oz tin of chickpeas 3 tbsp maple syrup 3 tbsp strongly brewed espresso (or use espresso powder mixed with hot water) 3 tbsp vodka 1 tbsp coffee liqueur such as Kahlua or Tia Maria 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp cream of tartar coffee beans or chocolate shavings to garnish Instructions Drain the aquafaba into the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the cream of tartar. Start mixing on low speed until frothy. Increase the speed to maximum until you have firm peaks. Add the maple syrup, vodka, coffee liqueur and vanilla extract. Whisk to incorporate. Melt the chocolate over a bowl of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Add the coffee and stir using a small balloon whisk – the chocolate will thicken slightly. Add a third of the aquafaba meringue into the melted chocolate, stirring with a ballon whisk to combine. Gently fold in the remaining meringue until no streaks remain. Divide between 4 glasses or bowls or 6 smaller containers as it is very rich. Leave to set at room temperature or chill in the fridge. Serve at room temperature.

    Hi! I just made this recipe and I am so disappointed. The foam went all flat as soon as I mixed the chocolate while respecting all the steps. Now it looks like soup and I dont see how it can come back to a mousse form while being refrigerated.

    I am a cocktail addict, but can’t drink coffee with caffeine. I’m sure I can change the recipe to suit my needs! This looks so good with the chocolate!

    I am also a coffee and cocktail addict: combine them and add chocolate—SHUT THE FRONT DOOR—and I am a happy, happy girl. This adult dessert sounds positively FOXY.

    I’ve heard about cooking with aquafaba, but I’ve never seen anything made with it that looked quite as delicious as this. I love coffee and cocktails too so this tasty mousse is perfect for me!

    This looks amazing. I’ve heard great things about chickpea liquid, but I haven’t tried it yet. Your recipe makes me want to go try it now! I even have a can of chickpeas in the cupboard.
