Chef Gabe's Vegan Chocolate MUD\WTR Mousse uses aquafaba as a base, coupled with a hearty dose of our :rise Cocoa blend and plenty of chocolate to satisfy the most intense chocolate cravings.
If "aquafaba" sounds alien to you, take a moment to familiarise yourself with it. It's the liquid you find in your tin of chickpeas, and it's a game-changer for vegans whipping up desserts.
This is a dessert for those truly special moments.
