Αlmond milk & chocolate mousse (2-ingredient, vegan)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 май 2019
- This vegan chocolate mousse is an easy recipe made with only two ingredients. Chocolate and almond milk.
For the chocolate, it is best to use a dark chocolate with 55% to 65% cocoa (all good quality dark chocolates are naturally vegan).
For the milk, you can use any plant-based milk, but I find that roasted almond milk has the best flavor.
If you're not vegan, you can also use regular milk.
When you whisk the mixture over the ice-bath, it should get lighter in color and thicker. Don't let it become too thick, because it will be difficult to pour into the glasses and the texture won't be the best.
However, if it becomes too thick, you can melt it by warming it and start over.

Hello everyone! After re-testing this recipe l recommend using less milk (1/2 cup / 120 grams) for even creamier consistency. Bon appetit!
This recipe is honestly awesome, I’ve used it as ganache and even icing on cakes. :))
And the quality of the video it’s amazing to, keep it up.
That's so great!
Does the ganache melt when it warms up or does it stable?
I like that you don't speak :) Birds, natural sounds and action
I wish all recipe videos could be like this

Pro trick : you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Judson Francis definitely, have been using Flixzone for years myself =)
Thank you! I love that you used simply the natural sound.
Thank you for teaching me a new recipe. I love that you made this dairy free. I ditched dairy and now I make dairy free recipes and videos too. I hope we can learn more from each other. I’m thankful to be able to learn from your talent.
This looks awesome I love this recipe
The spoon drop was like a blissful mic drop, well done
Your video is so bliss, peaceful and amazing 😍😍
Thank you so much! :)
I made this today and it tasted great! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
This looks great! I intend to make some sometime! :)
It wasn't intended to be an Almond milk whip recipe but this gave me the guide to.
Mine was starting to change texture but wasn’t getting lighter in color so I kept whisking 😂 it definitely ended up thicker but didn’t curdle. Waiting for it to chill and we’ll see how it turns out! Thank you for sharing this very simple recipe!
Thanks for trying it!
Thank you for this recipe. I feel peaceful now. Liked! Subscribed!
Thank you so much!
Like the drumming of the fingers! :)
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
Thanks! This recipe is based on Heston Blumenthal's original chocolate and water mousse
Delightful!!
Lovely. Ty 😊
Your vids are so aesthetic, you definitely should have more subscribers!
Thank you very much!
I made it!!! It's chilling. Can't wait. Thanks!! PS any other way to chop the chocolate up or maybe just melt over water? I used the blender and it took some time still!! Great video. 😊
Hi Kay,
Some chocolate bars are scored in little squares so that you can break them by hand, or maybe you can use good quality chocolate chips.
My son is lactose intolerant I will definitely try it
Great
As a non vegan I may have to try this to see what it's like.
Very calming vid. Thanks! I assume this works other non-dairy milks like Oatley barista milk, right? Is it effected by additional sweeteners?
Hi, I've made it with almond ilk and with regular milk. I haven't made it with additional sweeteners but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work!
I like watching cooking videos before going to sleep. I hate the trend of very hyper, energetic videos. Instant subscribe for me. Thank you.
thank you very much!
merci
I think it needs egg white. I used coconut milk instead of almond milk. Good recipe but a bit dense.
Thanks for sharing.
Hey Josef,
next time try to whip it a little less, it won't be so dense. Egg white could work, but it's best to pasteurize it first :) thanks for commenting and have a great day!
It’s like ASMR 😃👍🌱
Thanks for the recipe, it looks very delicious and I want to try it. Would it also work if I just pour the mixture into cups and then put in the fridge to thicken up instead of mixing it on ice?
Hi Lisa, no you have to mix it over a lot of ice
wow this was so relaxing to watch lol
thanks! :)
Will it work with barista blend almond milk?
It looks simple and wonderful. Can not I skip the mixing in ice water? If I let it cool naturally?
Thanks! I don't believe it will become like a mousse without mixing!
Wow i love this simple recipe! May i know the measurement of the almond milk? Is it sweetened or unsweetened? And can i use an electric hand mixer when beating? Thanks!😊
Oh sorry, saw the almond milk measure already😊
@@euniceserrano6499 Hi! Yes you can use an electric mixer, but be carefull because it can thicken very quickly. The almond milk is unsweetened but you can also use sweetened if you like.
@@TheHungryBites thanks! I appreciate😊
The Hungry Bites hi. Is it an almond milk that you made you bought please ? Because the one I’m doing at home usually looks different, the almonds “soaks” to the bottom:) Tnx
@@annfitness3475 Hi Ann, I bought it from the store. But I have also made this recipe with water and with regular milk and had no problems, so I don't think there will be a problem whatever milk you will use.
I can use other milk. I can also use a mix of hot chocolate.
great video. I have a question lol. I used a stainless steel bowl instead of a glass bowl to mix the chocolate and milk. Is that why my mixture didn't thicken? I whisked for more than 5 min but it didn't thicken much. Many thanks in advance.
Hi, no it wasn't the bowl. If The weight of the ingredients was right and the chocolate was at least 55%cocoa then maybe you didn't use a lot of ice.
@@TheHungryBites thank you do much..won't mess up the ice next time lol. Probably yeah there was not a lot of ice added. I thought cold water will be enough
I tried this, mine doesn’t fluff up like that. Will try again
Hi Sami, try weighing the ingredients, use a chocolate with at least 55% cocoa solids and use a lot of ice (it needs to be very cold)
Lol am I doing it wrong or something I feel like this isn’t working
If you measure the ingredients correctly and use a lot of ice it will work! It thickens suddenly, but be patient :)
Great recipe! Can i use white chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Thanks! No, white chocolate will need a lot less milk to become mousse, but unfortunately I can't tell how much because I haven't tested it...
Looks great! Would white chocolate work?
Hi, I don't think it will work:)
Amazing recipe, but when I tried it, the mixture didnt get thicker when I put it over the ice water, I waited long but then the water already went room tempeture. What did I do wrong?
Hi, if you measured the quantities right and the chocolate was over 55% cocoa, then the only thing that could have gone wrong is that the ice wasn't enough. You need a LOT of ice because the mixture is warm and melts the ice quickly
For diabetics, do you think Lily’s dark chocolate bars would suffice?
Hi, this recipe will work with any type of dark chocolate. If it's too bitter you can add to the milk some sweetener suitable for diabetics. However, I can't give any medical advice, it's best to talk with your doctor :)
Could you tell me for how long did you whip the mousse?
About 5 minutes but it will depend on the quantity of the ice and the initial temperature of the hot chocolate
Can make this the day before a party and keep in the refrigerator over night?
Hi Alaska,
Yes, but for larger quantity you will probably need a lot of ice for the water bath
Why can't I whisk the chocolate & milk mixture until it thickens too much? What happens if I over whisk the mixture?
Hi,
If you whisk and it doesn't thicken it means the ice-water underneath became warm or (maybe) the chocolate has a lower cocoa percentage. If you overwhisk it will thicken too much and will look curdled. But in this case you can melt it again and start over
@@TheHungryBites Great explanation! Thank you!
💚
😋
Can i use cocoa powder instead of a chocolate bar?
I'm afraid not, it's a totally different ingredient
Can i use this for cake fillings and layers?
I can't say because I haven't tried it. It is stable but can't support as much weight as a thick buttercream. If you do use it, the cake will have to be refrigerated because the mousse melts at room temperature
@@TheHungryBites Hi there! I was thinking of layering this mousse with chocolate biscuits dipped in espresso for an easy Tiramisu! Do you think it can hold that much weight?
@@MsRiya1991 Hi! I think it will :)
The part where you were chopping the chocolate was so stressful. Never put your fingers under a knife like that!
Otherwise amazing video. Super relaxing :)
Sorry for the stress! 😊
Any substitute of almond milk?
You can also use water, regular milk, or soy, oat, coconut milk
Is there any difference if I use a 100% dark chocolate ?
Maybe the mousse will be somewhat thicker, and probably more bitter.
Got it. Thanks!
Does it taste like milk chocolate or still has the taste of dark chocolate
It's more like milk chocolate than dark
Can I use normal milk too?
Yes of course!
Can I use chocolate powder?
No, it won't work!
have tried this with white chocolate or cacao butter?
Unfortunately no. If you want to experiment I would recommend increasing the amount of white chocolate 30-50%. As for the cocoa butter I don't think it will work, but you never know!
@@TheHungryBites ok I'm trying to make vegan chocolate mousse cake. bottom layer is like a brownie, middle layer is a firm fluffy choc mousse, and the top layer is a white chocolate mousse. but the original recipe from Americas test kitchen uses gelatin to help stabilize the mousse.
@@ahealthierkirk2558 for a vegan chocolate mousse cake it is maybe easier to make a vegan ganache with dark chocolate and coconut cream (I have a recipe here : www.thehungrybites.com/greek-halva-cake-with-whipped-chocolate-ganache-vegan/ )
For the white mousse layer I have seen recipes with whipped coconut cream, sugar and vanilla. If I stumble upon something else I will let you know!
😋😋😋😋😋
Con una batidora se haorra tiempo
Can I use 85% dark chocolate?
Yes, but it will be less sweet :)
I’d like to know the carb count please
Hi Elizabeth, for a single serving there are approximately 39 grams of carbohydrates. Please note that the actual carbohydrate content may vary depending on the specific products you use. You can also use an online nutrition calculator to double check depending on the ingredients you use.
Damn i putted the playing speed to x2 and still very slow
Hmph. I never knew!
Can I use normal cows milk?
yes! :)
So did you chill it? How long?
You mean the time the bowl is on ice water?
Instead of almond milk, can I use chocolate milk.
I haven't tried it, but I believe it will work!
Can u use other milk alternatives, or coconut cream?
i'm going to try this with cashew milk and tell you if it's working
it took me literally 20mn and it worked :)
@@creafimo oh awesome thanks! ♡
I wouldn't suggest coconut cream, it may make it too thick. Other milk alternatives should work fine, even water will do
@@TheHungryBites ooo okay, thanks!
So my almond milk is finished can I make it with cow milk? I mean is it working??
Yes of course!
@@TheHungryBites Thanks 😊
Hey can I use coco powder instead of chocolate :)
Sorry but no, it will not work!
@@TheHungryBites okay thank you!
What could be used to sweeten it?
1 teaspoon sugar per portion or half a teaspoon maple syrup or honey
@@TheHungryBites thank you kindly.. added at the end while mixing over ice or when initially adding the almond milk right after the chocolate has melted (since its warm)
@@sthiggs79 it's best to add it initially with the milk so that it melts :)
Will it work with 78% cacao bar?
It will, but maybe the cream is a little bit thicker. I would add 1-2 more tablespoons of almond milk
The Hungry Bites ok I’m probably trying it tonight, I’ll let you know thanks.
Ok so my bar was 100 grams so that is about 30% less than the bar you used so I cut the milk down by 30% which would have been around 120ml but I added a lil extra milk like you said and bumped it up to 150. Well that was too much so it wouldn’t setup in the fridge. Gonna try again and drop it back down to 120ml of milk.
@@jmt__ hey j m t,
You can still drink that warm, like hot chocolate :) when you make it again, make sure you have plenty of ice in the bowl under the chocolate. It needs some time until it thickens, but when it starts to thicken it happens relatively quickly.
The Hungry Bites I had a lot of ice in the water. I whipped it hard for like 5 minutes and left it in the fridge overnight. Can’t wait to try it again. Thanks.
Can i do with oat milk?
Hi, I think so, though I haven't tried it
Nice stove.
Can I add Nutella instead of chocolate
no, it will not work
Wait is it okay if water gets into the cold mixture
one or two drops is okay (you can also do this mousse with water instead of milk). But if a lot of extra water gets into the mixture it will ruin the recipe ratios
@@TheHungryBites can you write the measurement of how much to use the water as per the chocolate bar? Please will be a big help
@@ireallydontknow1044 this is the written recipe: www.thehungrybites.com/almond-milk-chocolate-vegan-mousse-2-ways/
This will have bitter taste no?
Add a touch of sea salt to reduce bitterness + make it taste sweeter
Can I use Nutella as the chocolate
No, you need dark chocolate
Special thanks to Heston Blumenthal.
No sweetener?
No, chocolate has already some sugar
We can use simple milk
Yes
Thanks for reply
@@riya-zg2vf you welcome :)
Does it work with rice milk?
I've heard that some plant based milk curdle when you boil them. If the rice milk can be heated without separating, then it will work fine!
@@TheHungryBites ok, thanks!
I can’t get it to thicken :(
Make sure the chocolate has the right cocoa percentage (more than 55%) and use a lot of ice. You need to whisk it for a while and make sure the ice isn't melted
It is 72%, I think I added too much milk
@@miyoko1066 you could try to reheat it and add more chocolate, but it's difficult to calculate the amount (and you may waste more chocolate this way). On the other hand, it will make a nice hot chocolate drink I believe :)
Why couldn’t you use a mixer
You can but when it starts to thicken reduce speed because it can get too thick very fast
For how many minutes to steer??
It will depend on the quantity of the ice and the temperature of the chocolate. It could take 5-10 minutes until it starts to thicken
@@TheHungryBites how much to steer before putting in ice?
@@Golt__ until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth
@@TheHungryBites Thank you! I made this 2 times already and both times it came out watery should I put it in refrigerator or freezer?
because when i left it in freezer for 1-2 hours it was more melting in mouth and not watery
150 grams dark chocolate , 120 grams almond milk
Mic drop
Watch at 1,5x speed.
Seems like it takes a long time...
Not too much, but you need a lot of ice under the bowl :)
honestly not at all, i just tried it it's super fast
150 grams dark chocolate + 180 grams almond milk
Please a little bit faster next video
I think the more recent videos are a little bit faster 😉
Just play it at 2X
Please reply 👇👇
What?
Hey! I heard they have these places called stores, and you can go there and buy things like cut up chocolate and electric mixers. They sound amazing.
You can also buy ready-made chocolate mousse!
Human the way you hold your knife scares me
Everything about this video is turning me on.
That must taste very bitter
It is not overly sweet which is actually nice! I just made it waiting for it to chill.
I just ate some some commercial vegan chocolate pudding (ehrmann),... tasted like paint yuck. Poor vegans.
Painfully slow to watch.
