What Exactly is aquafaba?

Aquafaba is the liquid found in canned legumes, particularly chickpeas. Its thick viscosity makes it an excellent vegan egg substitution. It can be used as an egg binder in recipes like vegan mayonnaise, macrons, meringues or whipped into semi-soft peaks.

Aquafaba in a vegan mousse creates the creaminess and fluffiness.

Can I use normal chocolate?

Yes! Feel free to use whatever chocolate you have on hand!
