For anyone asking, what can I do with chickpea aquafaba, here you go!

This mousse recipe calls for aquafaba.
Aquafaba is basically the liquid that is left over from a can of chickpeas once the chickpeas have been removed.

What you should know is that aquafaba can be used instead of egg whites in a recipe such as this one.

This means that by beating the aquafaba, it will result in peaks that are similar to the peaks created by beating egg whites. The beaten aquafaba will give the mousse the airiness that it needs.

Ingredients needed to make banana mousse.

Coconut Cream- ½ cup. The coconut cream should be chilled overnight in the refrigerator. To make this mousse recipe sugar free, use unsweetened coconut cream along with a sweetener of your choice as needed.
Aquafaba- ½ cup. That is about as much as you can expect to get from one 15 ounce of chickpeas when drained.
Cream of Tarter- ⅛th of a teaspoon.
Bananas- 2 average sized. The bananas should be really, really ripe for best results.
Vanilla Extract- 1 teaspoon.

How to make this Vegan Banana Chocolate Mousse.

The night before you intend to make this, please refrigerate your coconut cream.
In a mixing bowl, using a stand mixer, beat together the aquafaba and the cream of tarter until soft peaks form (just like with egg whites).
Meanwhile, in a microwave bowl, melt the chocolate, stopping to stir every 30 seconds until melted. Allow this to cool while you work.
In another mixing bowl, mash you bananas if they are not already mashed. Then you can stir in the melted chocolate.
Once you peaks have formed in you aquafaba , you can transfer the aquafaba to the bowl with the other ingredients along with the vanilla extract. Gently stir the ingredients until combined.
Refrigerate the mousse for at least two hours for better consistency before serving.
