Smooth and creamy vegan white chocolate mousse using aquafaba as the base.
I am so impressed with this recipe today, seriously. This 2-ingredient(!!!) vegan white chocolate mousse has an amazing fluffy and silky texture and a luscious sweet white chocolate taste. One spoonful and I was immediately in love. I mean, look at that! How could you not be?
So, yes, aquafaba. I am pretty sure you have all heard of it already. All I can say: THANK YOU to whoever “invented” it. Because it has changed my life. First I have discovered the deliciousness that is this vegan tart, then came all kind of meringues, ice creams and pavlovas. Then I tried this mousse au chocolat recipe and since then I haven’t been able to stop making it. The only thing is that actually I have always been a white chocolate type of girl, so I felt I have to change a recipe a bit to my taste. This white chocolate version has been on my mind for quite a while now, but I wasn’t sure if it would work with a vegan chocolate. Luckily I found the perfect solution, thanks to my favourite German vegan chocolate brand, iChoc. Oh, their chocolates are so so so good, I am totally obsessed with them. They were kind enough to send me a whole bunch of chocolates to make this recipe plus to give away a selection of their chocolates to 3 lucky winners. Yeah!

That looks amazing, Evi! Isn’t aquafaba the best thing ever?! Thanks for sharing my tart recipe. 🙂
Yes, it truly is. So much things to do with it!!!! 🙂
Can you tell me if the mousse can be put into a mould. And de-moulded. I have a polar bear I would love to make for my nephew for Xmas.
Hi Lisa,
I think this mousse is too soft and wouldn’t hold its shape. Maybe try this Coconut Panna Cotta for the polar bear, it’s the perfect recipe to put in any mould. 😉
Favorite dessert: anything citrus. I still remember a grapefruit-and-gin sorbet I had years ago. 🙂
Hard to say…usually a not too sweet chocolate cake, but apple cider donuts are also great .
Looks so good????
I’m not in Europe, but my favorite dessert is probably So Delicious’s vegan mocha almond fudge ice cream bars!! They’re so good!!!
Oh man, I really need those in my life too!
OMG, this is amazing, thank you for the recipe! I cannot wait to try it, hopefully with one of the iChoc chocolates! My favorite dessert (at least until now) is either the infamous chocolate-avocado mousse OR the “butterscotch” candy made out of medjoul dates and a spoonful of peanutbutter <3
I have to try this chocolate 😉
Hi! 🙂 Thank you for the cool recipe! My all-time favorite dessert is white chocolate itself, this is what brought me here, but I am also deeply into “milk”chocolate bon bons with liquid caramel filling, carrot cake and punch flawored mignons… aww…
This dessert looks amazing :3 and I am so happy to find out a choc brand that actually has veegan white chocolate yea!! Oh and thank You Evi for the giveaway!! My all time favourite desserts are all kind of raw vegan “cheese”cakes made of lots of different nuts+cahsew cream and frozen berries C:
ichoc is great! my favorite dessert has to be vegan crepe with apricot jam and cocoa powder.
my favourite dessert is full of flavour fudgy chocolate brownie! I love chocolates, vegan of course <3 or snickers as well – made from peanut butter, fresh dates and chocolate sauce 🙂
Yummy!
My fav one actually is a sweet potato chocalate cake from Dreena 🙂
I haven’t heard of aquafaba. Indeed, using chickpea liquid from a cun sounds crazy but intriguing at the same time! I really am impressed:)
Thanks, Ben!
I guess it’s one of those crazy vegan things 😉
Nice recipe! So far my fav is nirwana vegan by rapunzel. But this is also like so goooood!
Meggyes pite – sour cherry pie
White chocolate is my favourite of all the chocolates – so this mousse is perfect for me. Looks so light and delicious! Xx
Thanks, Thalia 🙂
My favourite sweets are marzipan bars with dark chocolate covering, and tiramisu was my favourite, before I went vegan. I never tried a vegan version of it.
I love chocolate and I need to win!
My favourite dessert is avocado mousse (avocado, dates, almond milk, cocoa powder). It’s so yummy. 🙂
Ohhhh… my favourite? I have too many 😀 maybe the eternal one is banana-wildberry pie 🙂
Oh wow! These mousse look stunningly delicious, Evi. Thank you for this awesome recipe! I cannot wait to try it,
Thanks, Anu 🙂
My favourite dessert are fresh fruits with soy yoghurt, nettle seeds, sunflower seeds and dates! No baking, easy to make and easily adjusted to whatsoever fruits you have in the fridge… 😉
Wow … that looks really fantastic and very tasty.
I love eating pancakes with brown suger and Contreau … or with brown suger and Grand Manier …
I love chocolate mousse, it’s one of my favourite desserts. I will have to try with aquafaba, sounds intriguing.
Thanks 🙂
Hmmmm looks like I need to investigate Aquafaba!
😉
My favourite dessert is raw vegan vanilla cashew creme, it’s soooo delicious!!!
Favourite Dessert – Banana Cream Pie. Been eating a whole foods diet for a year, but am still rubbish at sweets. Looking forward to trying your recipes.
lemon and lavender bars do it for me,, but I shall be trying the recipe and this chocolate very soon.
Brownie. The chunkier, the better;)
My favorite dessert is with no doubt warm chocolate brownie! Goes wonderfully with some vanilla banana ice cream!
And this mousse sounds so delicious. I really love how simple aquafaba is.
I like to make curd from soy yogurt by filtering out the water overnight and then add a lot of raspberries and sugar 🙂
And I love chocolate, of course, and White Nougat Crisp from iChoc is one of the best I have ever tried! I really want to try the new flavours!!
Love this! I have never seen vegan white chocolate before in a store!
I have tried some, but this is my favourite brand so far. Super close to the real deal 😉
Oh, and all time favorite dessert: ice cream. Any flavor, any time (Except vanilla)
Die Mousse sieht wirklich köstlich aus! Und die Erdbeeren machen sowas von appetit auf Sommer 🙂
Liebe Grüße Vicky
I actually love everything that is made with chocolate or IS chocolate. <3 This recipe sounds great and so easy! 🙂
this looks really tasty! Have to try it, but never heard of aquafaba! My favourite sweets are anything with pistachios, white chocolate as well as Swedish cinnamon rolls! Hmmm 🙂
I can’t wait to try this recipe out!
I generally prefer savoury foods to desserts, but since going vegan I’ve been more appreciative of cakes and sweets when I can get them. It’s encouraged me to do a lot more cooking and baking myself. My favourite dessert is probably the pistachio and rose birthday cake that I got for my 21st birthday last year. (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
I am totally with you! I also prefer savoury food and also just started to like sweets since going vegan.
The pistachio and rose cake sounds amazing!!!!!
Favourite dessert is such a hard question! I think it’s cookies, like chocolate chip cookies, the big ones. Only had 1 since going vegan at VegFest UK and it was AMAZING. Need a recipe!
I know this feeling. You go to a great veggie fest, try something amazing, then have to wait a whole year to get it again. So bad!
My fav. dessert is the chocholate mousse ( raw vegan, with lots of avo)
Yeeeeees!
What a lovely spring dessert! And thanks for the tip, I usually throw out the water in which I cook my chickpeas, but since I love recycling anything I can I can’t wait to experiment with it!
My favourite dessert? When I was a kid it was the Dobos cake, loved its caramel top, but since my teenager years I find it way too sweet and buttery. Now I prefer fruit tarts and vegan cheesecake 🙂
Hahaha, Dobos cake! I am not sure if I have ever tried it. I didn’t like caramel as a kid, but now I think I would like it 🙂
This looks so beautiful! I’ve been thinking about white chocolate desserts for the pats week (I think it’s the Easter holidays treats in my head) and will definitely try this out! Brilliant! I’m a real chocolate girl, so anything with chocolate is my favorite sweet. The more chocolate the better 🙂 And I guess a chocolate & avocado pudding with rosted walnuts or hazelnuts is my number 1 !
I absolutely love chocolate and avo puddings too! Next time I’ll try it with roasted hazelnuts, sounds super delish 🙂
Such a simple idea and looks so good 😀
Thanks, Nadia 🙂
I had no idea it was called aquafaba – thanks for telling me! I haven’t tried to use it yet, but I’ve heard so many good things about it so I guess I have to soon 😉
I guess I’m in so many vegan FB groups that I start to think that everybody talks about aquafaba everyday (like I do) 😀
Love that you posted this Evi! I’ve been looking for a quality vegan white chocolate for AGES. It is ridiculously hard. It’s awesome that you created a white chocolate mousse recipe with just 2 ingredients–I’m in love! 🙂 Off to pin. Have a great weekend, Evi. xo
This brand is really awesome and totally undetectably-vegan 😉
Have a great weekend too!
Im SWOONING over this mousse perfection! Only 2 ingredients? YUM!
Thank you!
Wow, never heard of aqua faba before – but will definitely be trying. My ultime favourite dessert is dark chocolate mousse with a raspberry coulis. I’ve really been missing that since going vegan about 9 months back, so will have to try (a) this recipe, and (b) adapting it to make a dark choc mousse! I see some fun ahead 🙂
Great recipe again, Evi!
My favourite dessert is a Swedish cake called Prinsesstårta (not the Ikea version).
But I would love to try these chocolates too!
Greetings from Sweden,
Aimée
ice cream!!!
Favourite dessert, what a question… For me goes everything with chocolate, fudge, coconut or poppyseed, there I really can’t choose only one. I would like to try this recipe as well!
I would love to try this choc mousse, it looks so mouth watering!
Anyway, my favourite dessert is cheesecake. Anytime. Anywhere. I love it. Oh, and anything that contains caramel.
I have tried this recipe but unfortunately the aquafaba foam and melted chocolate is very difficult to mix which caused the foam to break. Also the iChoc white chocolate does not easily melt and becomes solid quite quickly when cooling down. What did I do wrong? 🙁
Hi Marlies,
I’m so sorry to hear the recipe didn’t work for you.
I don’t think you did anything wrong, unfortunately aquafaba is always tricky to work with. I have had a few major fails with it too…In general I think it’s important to whisk the aquafaba very hard so it won’t break that easily, but of course it’s sometimes not that easy depending on many factors (how thick the chickpea liquid was or what temperature it had, etc.). I heard that some people had problem using a stick blender, since it can get quickly very hot. Maybe it’s worth a try with a hand held whisk!
And regarding the iChoc: It definitely doesn’t melt as easily and nicely as dairy chocolate, but I personally never had a problem with it. Maybe it depends on how long you melt it? I’m not sure….I’ll make a few more tests with the iChoc in the next days and will make a few notes about how long I melt it exactly. I hope that will help 🙂
