Ingredients

1 cup liquid from canned chickpeas (aquafaba, chickpea cooking water)
5 oz dark chocolate
2 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar (reduce the amount of sugar if the chocolate you're using is already pretty sweet)

Instructions

Roughly chop the chocolate and either melt it in the microwave or over the stovetop.
Whip up the aquafaba. Place it in a kitchen machine or whip it up a with a handheld mixer. It will take about 10 minutes to get stiff peaks.
Once you've reached stiff peaks, add the sugar while still whipping.
Transfer the whipped up aquafabe to a large bowl.
Once the dark chocolate is melted, let it cool down significantly. It should still be thin and runny but not too warm or hot anymore. Add it to the whipped aquafaba.
Carefully fold it into the aquafaba using a whisk or a spatula.
Evenly divide the mixture between four glasses and place it in the fridge overnight to set.
On the next day, serve it with vegan whipped cream, chopped dark chocolate, and raspberries.

Notes

If you're not sure what's the best way to melt chocolate, check out this helpful post that shows you different ways to melt chocolate.
It's totally normal that the whipped aquafaba will get less fluffy when you add the melted chocolate. It will set once you've placed it in the fridge overnight and will be super fluffy again.
If the chocolate you're using is already pretty sweet, you could leave out the additional sugar.
Some chickpea cans contain BPA. I always make sure to buy a BPA-free chickpea can.
