Low GI chocolate mousse with Aquafaba

You’ve probably indulged in chocolate mousse before, but let me introduce you to a special version: low glycemic index chocolate mousse with aquafaba. Yes, you heard that right – a decadent treat, suitable for diabetics, and guilt-free.

I didn’t want to offer you just another simple chocolate mousse; there are plenty of those recipes online already. The simplest chocolate mousse involves egg whites and melted chocolate, and that’s it. However, while exploring alternatives to meet my specific needs, I’m sharing a method that transforms this indulgence into a healthy option suitable for diabetics.

I had some leftover chickpea water, which I’ve made a habit of saving. Thus, the idea of ​​creating a chocolate mousse by replacing egg whites with aquafaba was born. This trick not only offers a light and airy texture but also aligns with efforts to reduce food waste. Chickpea water replaces egg whites perfectly, with the same quantities, making its use as simple as the traditional recipe.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe:

• Aquafaba (chickpea water): Replaces egg whites, offering a light and airy texture.
• Dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa: Rich in flavor, with no added sugar to suit diabetics.
• Vanilla extract: Adds a touch of sweetness and aroma.
• Natural sweetener (stevia, erythritol): Optional, depending on your sweet preferences.

How to prepare your low GI chocolate mousse?

1. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
2. Whip the aquafaba until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the melted chocolate into the aquafaba.
4. Add the vanilla extract and sweetener.
5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

My tips for success with your low GI chocolate mousse:

• Ensure the chocolate is well melted for a smooth texture.
• Use a natural sweetener to adjust sweetness without compromising health.
