Fabulous aquafaba!
Cooking with aquafaba is a magical experience. I always save the chickpeas water from the can, because I am sure I can use it later on different recipes that you will find on my channel.
This cacao mousse is just perfect served as dessert on a special dinner. Is my ace in the sleeve whenever I have friends coming over but little time to cook. I like topping with some cacao nibs (for this recipe I used the ones provided me by Indigo Herbs) or with coconut whipped cream.
