Ingredients
- sweet potato - 1 cup (225g/0.5 lb) (peeled and cooked)
- smooth peanut butter - ½ cup (125g)
- natural cocoa powder - ½ cup (50g)
- maple syrup - 6 tbsp.
- orange zest - 1 tsp.
- chickpea brine - ½ cup (120ml)
- lemon juice - ½ tsp.
Preparation Instructions
- 1. Place cooked sweet potato and peanut butter in a food processor. Process until smooth and, then add cocoa powder, maple syrup, and orange zest, blend again until smooth.
- 2. Place chickpea brine in a clean bowl. Add lemon juice and whip with a hand mixer until you achieve stiff peaks (this can take around 3-6 minutes) – you should be able to invert the bowl, and the whipped brine should not move an inch.
- 3. Fold whipped chickpea brine into the chocolate and mix until well combined. The mixture will deflate slightly. Spoon the mixture between 4 small serving glasses and place in the fridge for 8 hours (or overnight) for the mousse to set.
