Rich chocolate mousse, made with plant-based protein powder

Recipe

Protein-packed chocolate mousse

Rich, silky, and loaded with protein. This naturally gluten-free chocolate mousse is the kind of treat you can feel good about—whether it's just for you or prepped for guests.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

80 g Dark Chocolate (½ cup chopped)
60 g Nothing Else™ Faba Bean Protein Isolate
2 tbsp cacao
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/3 cup milk or water
4 egg whites

Instructions

Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt it gently using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Nothing Else™ Faba Bean Protein Isolate and milk (or water) until smooth and lump-free. It should form a thick, glossy mixture.
Once the chocolate has cooled slightly, stir it into the protein mixture until fully combined.
In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks using an electric whisk or stand mixer.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in batches. Be careful not to deflate them—you want to keep the mousse light and airy.
Divide the mousse into 4 serving jars and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.
