Strawberry Aquafaba Mousse Recipe

Prep Time: 20 minutes         Total Time: 20 minutes         Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 7 oz fresh strawberries
• 2/3 cup coconut cream
• 1/4 cup aquafaba
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon agar powder

Recipe

1. Start by rinsing the strawberries under cold water, then drain them well, and pat them dry using paper towels.
2. Pluck the strawberry stems with your hand.
3. In a blender, add strawberries, vanilla extract, and maple syrup, and blend on high speed until smooth.
4. A thin juice-like consistency will form; transfer it to a mixing bowl, and set aside.
5. Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, then add coconut cream and agar powder.
6. Whisk slowly over medium heat to dissolve the agar.
7. Remove the saucepan from the heat as soon as it starts to boil.
8. Transfer the hot coconut cream to the strawberry juice bowl and whisk to combine.
9. Let it cool for about 20 minutes. It should neither be too hot nor too cool.
10. Drain the chickpeas from the can and reserve the juice (aquafaba).
11. Now, transfer 1/4 cup of the aquafaba to a stand mixer.
12. Whip the aquafaba until it forms stiff peaks.
13. Pour half of the prepared coconut-strawberry mixture into the aquafaba, then carefully fold it using a spatula.
14. Once the mixture is fully combined, pour the rest of the coconut-strawberry mixture and fold it in carefully.
15. Do not overmix. Stop once it is combined, and no juice is visible at the bottom.
16. Transfer the strawberry mousse to serving jars using a spoon, then cover with plastic film and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
17. Serve and enjoy.

Tips

• Once prepared, the mousse can be enjoyed for up to 2 days only.
• The strawberries and aquafaba should be at room temperature to incorporate well with agar powder.
• To check whether aquafaba is ready, turn the bowl upside down; the aquafaba won’t lose its shape.
