Begin Whipping Aquafaba
While that is heating use a stand mixer to whip together the aquafaba and Druids Grove Vegan Gelatin to stiff peaks, about 10 minutes.Once the sugar mixture has been heated to 240°F and the whip has reached stiff peaks, slowly drizzle the warm sugar mixture into the whip on low speed. Once all the sugar mixture has been incorporated, whip for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.

Add Chocolate, Cool and Serve
Using a spatula add ⅓ of the whip and the instant espresso powder to the chocolate and mix it until uniform. It is okay to work this slightly more than the rest of the whip. The goal is to mix this in very well and the rest of the folding will be easier.Add another ⅓ of the whip and fold in gently until uniform. Take your time to ensure the mixture doesn’t deflate.Fold in the last third of the whip into the mousse and place the mousse into a piping bag with a star tip.Allow the mousse to cool for at least 1 hour before piping and serving.The mousse will hold for up to 7 days if stored in a sealed container.
