Equipment

  • Mixer

Ingredients
  

  • can of chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup good quality dark chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Drain the chickpeas and reserve the liquid. Use the chickpeas for something else. Take 2/3 cup of the chickpea liquid, and add it to the bowl of your stand mixer, along with the sugar and cream of tartar. Turn it on, slowly at first, and then building up to a high speed. Whip the aquafaba for about 10 minutes, or until it peaks.
  • Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water, until it is smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
  • Carefully fold the melted chocolate into the aquafaba. Pour into individual ramekins and refrigerate until solid, about 30 to 60 minutes. Garnish with coconut cream, grated chocolate or coconut flakes, if desired.
