• Pour your chickpea liquid or aquafaba into a medium-sized bowl and whip with a hand mixer to obtain a frothy mixture. This may take a couple of minutes, so don't worry!

VEGAN CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE MOUSSE TOPPING

Steps:

• For cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350F and put your cupcakes liners in your muffin pan.
• Whisk together the soy milk and vinegar in a bowl, giving it a few minutes to curdle before proceeding.
• Add the sugar, oil, vanilla to the curdled soy milk and beat until a little frothy.
• In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet in 2 batches, mixing until no large lumps remain.
• Fill the muffin liners about 3/4 fill. I use an ice cream scoop so that they are sure to be uniform in size.
• Bake 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, and then remove from pan and put on a cooling rack until completely cooled.
• For the Mousse topping: Put the tofu, soy milk, maple syrup and vanilla in a blender; puree until completely smooth.
• Melt the chocolate, either in a double boiler or carefully in a microwave. If you use a microwave, be careful so as to not burn the chocolate. Let the melted chocolate cool for about 5 minutes.
• Add the chocolate to the tofu in the blender and blend until combined.
• Put the mousse into a covered container and chill for at least an hour.
• When the cupcakes are completely cooled, use a large decorating tip on a pastry bag, and put a mountain of mousse on each cupcake.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Steps:

• Place almond milk and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat about 1 minute depending on your microwave. Stir together until chocolate chips are dissolving in milk, you should now have a rich chocolate milk. If necessary, heat a bit a longer. Let the mixutre cool for a few minutes.
• Add chocolate mixture, tofu, and vanilla to a food processor or blender and process until pureed. This is important: taste the mixture to make sure you don't a have a tofu taste since all brands are different. If it's not chocolaty enough you can melt some more chocolate chips and add it but don't add any more milk or it won't set properly.
• Pour into 4-5 ramekins or small dishes. It will set better this way than if it's in one big bowl. Chill 2-3 hours and it's ready to eat!
