Vegan espresso martini chocolate mousse

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!

Ingredients

• 200 g | 7oz good quality dark chocolate dairy-free

• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 3 tbsp strongly brewed espresso or use espresso powder mixed with hot water

• Melt the chocolate over a bowl of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth.

• Gently fold in the remaining meringue until no streaks remain.
