Ingredients
425gChickpeasstrain and collect the water (this is the aquafaba!) (1 can or jar) yields about 120ml liquid
Strain chickpeas and save the chickpea water - this is the chickpea water that is needed for Aquafaba needed.
425 g Chickpeas
Put chick water in a clean and absolutely fat-free mixing bowl (of the food processor) and whip with the mixer (hand mixer or food processor) on the highest speed for 3-6 minutes, until the chick water has increased in volume and looks like beaten egg whites. If in doubt, continue beating longer and at the highest level rather than stopping too soon.
Remove melted chocolate from heat and allow to cool briefly.
Add powdered sugar and beat again until well combined.
20 g Powdered sugar
Place sieve over bowl and sift in cocoa powder.
1 tbspn Cocoa powder
Pour in chocolate completely and gently fold in cocoa powder and chocolate using a silicone spatula. Always work from the bottom up because the chocolate is heavier and will settle to the bottom of the bowl.
Once everything is evenly combined, the mass should have reduced by about half in terms of volume.
Pour into a freezer-safe loaf pan (I just use a baking pan here) and let set in the freezer for at least 8 hours. ALTERNATIVE: Pour into an ice cream maker and prepare according to manufacturer's instructions.
To serve, remove, let thaw for 5 minutes, portion with an ice cream scoop and arrange in dessert bowls or an ice cream cone. Garnish with desired toppings and enjoy!
