23. Vegan & Low Carb Chocolate Mousse – Aquafaba Recipe
Vegan chocolate mousse is a heavenly low carb, paleo and dairy-free New Year’s dessert that is made with Aquafaba. It’s everything you need for clean eating.
Traditional chocolate mousse is made with heavy cream, eggs, or other rich dairy ingredients that contain a lot of calories and fat. I already showed you my recipe of peanut butter and chocolate mousse here on my blog. It’s also delicious and my oldest son favorite dessert.
The name aquafaba is a blend word combining “aqua”, meaning water, and “faba” for faba beansand it is the liquid in a can of chickpeas. Not the liquid in a can of any other beans. Aquafaba is able to trap air, giving items structure at the same time it delivers a fluffy crumb and lifts. This sticky, thickened water has the curious ability to whip up just like egg whites, stiff peaks and all! Thus, it makes an excellent egg replacer for those allergic to eggs or those espousing a vegan diet.

The charm of these chocolate-peanut clusters is undeniable! Plus, they’re a breeze to prepare.

That’s all there is to it! They’re an excellent option for utilizing extra egg whites, perhaps from recent custard-making endeavors.

18. New Year’s Eve Sparkler Cupcake Sundaes with Vanilla Ice Cream
Why settle for one dessert when you can offer your guests an array of five?

The foundation of this dessert is a basic cupcake, elevated with a scoop of ice cream and enveloped in a chocolate shell.

These shortbread treats are a decadent delight. Their rich, buttery essence is unmistakable, offering a tender, melt-in-your-mouth experience.
