Here is a decadent dairy-free and egg-free chocolate mousse! The secret ingredient? Aquafaba! Aquafaba is the liquid or brine found in a can of cooked chickpeas. This underappreciated liquid is pure gold when it comes to replacing eggs in a recipe. It’s easy to use, inexpensive and adds airiness to recipes in the same way whipped egg whites would. And oddly enough, it does not taste like chickpeas when appropriately utilized.
