How to Prepare Chocolate Mousse With Cranberry and Almond Crunch [Vegan, Grain-Free]

First place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a small pan filled with water, heat on low until melted. Set aside and leave to cool – this is important!
Next place the chickpea brine in a large bowl and use an electric whisk to beat for around 3-4 minutes until fluffy. Add in the cider vinegar and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
Add in the stevia/coconut sugar and whisk once more until thick and glossy.
Carefully fold in the melted chocolate along with the vanilla extract until combined – don’t knock too much air out! Spoon between 3-4 small glasses and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
Meanwhile, make the cranberry crunch: Heat the coconut oil and maple syrup in a small pan then add the buckwheat groats, cranberries and almonds. Cook on a high heat and continue to stir for a few minutes, allowing the ingredients to caramelize and go sticky.
Break up into pieces then sprinkle over each cup.
