Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl mix together the vegan chocolate chips and non-dairy milk. Melt gently in the microwave or using the double boiler method. Stir together until smooth. Set aside to let cool slightly.

Step 2

In a separate bowl add the chickpea liquid and whip together with a handheld mixer for about 10 minutes into stiff peaks. You can also do this in a standup mixer with the whisk attachment. Slowly add the maple syrup and vanilla extract and whip again until well combined. Note: unlike egg whites, aquafaba can't be overwhipped so keep going until you achieve a stiff texture.

Step 3

Gently fold the aquafaba to the melted chocolate with a spatula. It's normal if the aquafaba deflates a bit but try to keep as much volume as you can by not overmixing. Transfer to 4 (4-6oz) serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.

Step 4

Remove from the fridge, garnish with coconut whipped cream and some grated chocolate and serve immediately.
