  • 150g dark chocolate (70%+), melted and cooled
  • Liquid from 1 tin (400g) chickpeas (aquafaba)
  • Pinch of cream of tartar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Fresh berries to serve

Method

  1. 1

    Whip aquafaba with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form (about 8 minutes).

    Fold maple syrup and vanilla into cooled melted chocolate.

  3. 3

    Gently fold aquafaba into chocolate in three batches.

  4. 4

    Spoon into glasses and refrigerate 2 hours.

Tip: Aquafaba (the liquid from tinned chickpeas) whips to stiff peaks just like egg whites — a remarkable vegan discovery.
