This summery vegan dessert is made with aquafaba mousse
I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to use the mini tart molds I bought a while back and finally, it came.
So as you know I started this blog not too long ago, I put my heart and soul into it because I love it!
I’ve been experimenting with aquafaba mousse for a while because I wanted to get the texture from the meringue with no after taste whatsoever. I finally got an awesome result, which paired with the mini tart shells and the strawberries make an exquisite little bite.
If you’ve never worked with aquafaba before, it’s the liquid you find in a can of chickpeas. When you whip it up in a stand mixer like you would egg whites, it forms stiff peaks, just like meringue! It takes a little longer, but trust me, it’s well worth the wait.
The recipe for the shells, by the way, makes about seven or eight individual tarts or one large tart shell (though the individual ones are much more fun to eat!). The small ones are perfect for parties!
Keep in mind that the mousse is very airy an fluffy, it doesn’t set, so make sure you don’t overfill as I did on a couple ones here 😉
Let’s get to it!
